| Kembung galore at a low price: Mashita Abdul Razak(right) and other traders at the day market in Kampung Hilir Tandop, Kuala Kedah, enjoying brisk sales of their ikan kembung (local black mackerel). As they are going cheap at RM3 for 2kg, residents here and from nearby Alor Star are making a beeline to the market for the fish. Mashita gets her supply directly from fishermen at the Kuala Kedah jetty. — Picture by Rahmat Othman |
