Japanese koi are typically thought of as expensive ornamental fish rather than food, so a Malaysian woman caused quite a stir on social media when she shared pictures of her dead pet koi being turned into a soup.
Amanda Omeychua first posted the photos on a Facebook group with more than 2 million members called “
Masak Apa Tak Jadi Hari Ni”, which roughly translates as “Cooking Fails Of The Day”.
The montage of six pictures showed almost two dozen dead fish laid out on a floor, with Omeychua explaining in a comment that they had died from a lack of oxygen after a tap was left on to refill their pond. Koi, like all pond fish, require a minimum amount of dissolved oxygen in their water to live.
