I must be sincere, till today, I still don't know the difference between this two fish physically.

By taste, I know the one is sweeter and very tasty expecially when you boil, then other doesn't taste so nice like that. So is there truly a fake and original? How do I identify original one?

Picture (B) is the Original.

Why because... - It has wavy line pattern unlike Kampala with dotted lines. - Original Mackerel is not as big as Kampala. - It has an elongated mouth and its head is a lot smaller than that of Kampala. - The belly of original Mackerel is very clearness white and shiny while Kampala has pale dots on its belly.

Yes

Original?

So one specie is fake and the other isn't?

Education in Nigeria is utter rubbish.

And the award for the original goes to ....















(A + B) (A - B) =√AB

use your finger to rub the body, if you notice oil! That's the sweet one, the other one have nothing like oil in it

Both of the fish are mackerel, there is nothing like fake or original between them. they are both species of pelagic fish there are over half a
dozen type of it. However they may taste differently when fresh or after being refrigerated as a result of their fatty oil contents, due to prolonged refrigeration they may loose their good taste.
A fresh one will taste better , you can identify it by doing the following;
The gills should look blood red, not dark red
skin should be bright and of good colour
After pressing the skin, it should come back to its own shape without leaving an imprint of the fingers
The eyes should look crystal clear not cloudy or sunken
Most importantly the skin should be white , especially the side area to the underbelly area, it shouldn't look dark or overly greyish
Lastly the Atlantic slender mackerel taste better because of their temperate habitat.

Take your cat with you to taste them before you pay

observanc1:
Is it that it is a fake fish or just another variety?
Op, explain what u mean by fake please.

There is original and fake of that fish.. but I only identify whenever I taste.. so I wish to Identify before I pay

Physical differences not really visible
Yeah!!

B

The sweet type or the "original" as you claim always looks shinny like it's coated with groundnut oil so from this your pics, I think A should be it.

Lol i really can't believe how many people are failing this test. Guys scumbia is a blue fish.

Wait o. Is this Mackarel what we know as 'Titus' fish?

You have your answers here

There is nothing like original mackerel. They are simply different species.

Afoonja:


Smell, taste. One thing I've learnt is that if it's not original, it can never be original. I can't even swallow any scumbia that's not original.

The original is usually smaller and bluer. But sometimes when it's iced for long , it may lose the taste and even the oil and smell won't be there

I hardly see fake when I was in west but in south south here, it's very hard o

BESTScientist1:
The fake looks more coloured like BAT's ....th

Sometimes colour can deceive and lie like Obi

Of all the good things Peter Obi is doing right now Na fish matter Nairaland dey push go front page.


Shame shame shame

Nothing like fake among the two. They're different species of mackerel.

I hope you understand that neither is fake
One is Titus, the other is Silas
But joke apart,the other one is just a different specie,not fake

A is original
Tho B is another species

Pidginwhisper:
Fake fish dey again?

I studied Fisheries (5 year course + 2 years strike + 1 year NYSC), this is the first time I'll be hearing this about Titus.

Original is A

A is the original. It doesn't have all those black spots you see on the other one.

no fake here bro, different species from different Ocean

Take a close at both .
Then prepare them separately, you will definitely confirm.

obembet:


How sure is this?

LoL. Trouble maker

Msmither:
Original is white when they cut it, if you see the fish is blood stained when they cut it with its intestines looking somehow, it's fake , just collect that one they cut or use madness refuse everything and go your way.

nothing like original just different species from different Ocean
