"Is it that... what's it called, oil fish?" Betty asked Chen Ze with a curious look.
"Huh?" Chen Ze was instantly dumbfounded. Honestly, he had thought about many types of fish, but he really hadn't expected Betty to inquire about this particular fish.
Escolar, its name alone suggests, is a fish known for its oils. However, these oils are not ordinary but rather notoriously troublesome.
It's not that the oil from escolar is toxic, nor is the fish's flavor unpalatable. In fact, the taste of escolar is quite decent, with a unique flavor profile.
Normally, this fish had nothing to do with Chen Ze, especially since he didn't eat fish and never cared much about them. That was until one of his friends from Guangdong shared a harrowing experience, and that's how Chen Ze became aware of escolar.
