GEORGE TOWN - If you have been raising your eyebrows over the prices of various meats, here is some good news.

“Since end-January, we received much more, averaging between 100kg and 200kg and up to 500kg daily,” said a fishmonger who wanted to be known only as Siang at Cecil Street Market in Penang yesterday. “Due to tremendous supply, we reduced the price of large prawns from RM60 per kg to as low as RM53 per kg so that people will buy more,” he said.

Pak Wan, a 57-year-old fisherman in Balik Pulau, said he had not seen prawns in his net for over a year but they started returning about two weeks ago.
