About 275 kg of decayed fish was seized from storage spaces in two markets in the city on Saturday morning. During the joint raid conducted by the Fisheries and Food Safety departments, it was found that seafood varieties, including prawn, vanjaram, koduva, paraimeen and vavval, received from neighbouring States were at least 20 days old. The fish, which traders claimed were kept for making karuvaadu (dry fish), were seized mainly from Chintadripet market (200 kg) and Kasimedu (75 kg). Although checks were conducted at the Nochikuppam fish market, no rotten fish was found there, said sources.More Related News
