IN a small space in Klang, Audrey Goo picks up two small pomfrets resting side by side in a tub filled with their fellow brethren. The fishes’ silvery skins shimmer and shine, but Goo points out a dark, almost black discolouration on the edge of one of the fishes.

“See that black bit on the fish? That shows that it was caught at night. The other fish doesn’t have it, which means it was caught in the daytime. And look – the eyes are clear too – this is very fresh, ” says Goo, who has been running online seafood delivery platform MyFishman (myfishman.com) for five years now.
