Don't allow them SCAM you all the time in the Market as per TITUS FISH (Mackerel)

The truth is.. Like @DrK_CVO rightly said... there's nothing like original or Fake 'Titus Fish' .
We one we call fake is just a different specie call Scomber Japonicus while the regular one we like is known as Atlantic Mackerel (Scomber Scrombus)

Nigerians call the Sweet Mackerel specie 'Titus' and the other one 'Kampala' (not Panla)
I don't know how Nigerians got to the name 'Titus' because 'Titus' is actually the brand name for the Mackerel fish packaged in cans, which we also call Sardine...🤷♀️
But this is Nigerian 😂

Anyways, for the sake of this short thread, we shall call the other specie 'FAKE' because as @ogetogeo also commented earlier, 'Vendors sell that Specie in the name of selling the Sweet' Atlantic Mackerel'
To me, it's Unfair 😭 especially when it comes at the same price.

Ok..enough of the 'Shalaye' 😁
These 3 distinct features will help you differentiate both quickly.
1) The Head: The original Fish has a small head, smaller Eyeballs, with a long pointed snout compared to the other one.
Kampala's head is big in an unsexy way 😁
L.. ❌R.. ✔️

2)The Belly: it works for me all the time.
Turn the fish around to check the for the belly...
The Real one is clear, pure white and shiny with no spot.
The other one has Spots all over it.
The Fake one is bigger & longer in length too.
Set awon Agbaya big for nothing 😂

3) Line Pattern: the Pattern of the Original Fish is wavy and comes with a very sharp, deep black stripes...
Unlike the other one with pale dotted lines.
R.. FAKE
L..Original

So that's it..
I know Fish is Fish, but the taste is the difference..😁
If you cook with both.. You'll understand what I Mean.
Plis Darlings🤗Shine ya eyes well before they sell the one that should cost between 200-400 for the Sweet one of 600-800..
