Sitaki kugongwa tena! Kenya fish especially from lake Victoria is expensive, Should be going for around 1k-3k. However, you have an option of requesting Chinese fish which is cheaper Reflection Eternal

Sitaki kugongwa tena! Today is Sunday so I hope you are not in the gutter. Fish prices in Nairobi City Mkt Tilapia and Nile Perch Fillet:-Between 550 and 700 per kg.Put markup for restaurants at 50% so Kilo should go for between 850 and 1050.A portion should be 200g hence between 200 and 300 plus accompaniments 400 to 500. whole fish for the above is between 300 and 500 per piece so kwa restaurant its between 500 and 700 per piece. Sea fish Tuna and king fish 700/kg Mackrel na Samaki wa kupaka 400 to 500 per kg Do the same maths up there. Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

It all depends on location and how you want the fish? In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

True. Kenya has some of the highest fish prices in the world. Strange that fish should be cheaper in New York city than in Kisumu. It's no wonder that China is exporting fish all the way to kenya and still making money.

You will encounter fish from all over e.g. Rwandese, Tanzanians and as far as Zibambwe. These fish can really travel!

Sea fishTuna and king fish 700/kg Mackrel na Samaki wa kupaka 400 to 500 per kg Do the same maths up there. Sea fish goes for 150/kg from the fisherman by the beach. However, if it hits the butcheries of the coastal towns, goes for nothing less than 400/kg. For hotels/restaurants, it should be higher than that. The 700/kg may be permissible when cooked. Nam Lolwe Tilapia is very expensive, same goes to mud and lung fishes. Very expensive. The Chinese Tilapia is very very very very cheap. The only place you can be assured of Lolwe fish is from the fishermen from the lake. Any other source is very likely to be Chinese fish.

Mackrel na Samaki wa kupaka
In my shaggs they are deep frying a fish and selling at 150/- for the whole fish ('from head to toe') and it is coming frozen in some cartons, is this fish geniune? Is it the Mackrel, looks like it, and if anybody knows where i can buy a carton? Ilikua tamu and not bony worth to me much more than a 300/- tilapia from mama oliech. Na samaki wa kupaka ni gani? A New Kenya

I suspect its the Chinese fish. Mackrel is bony and rarely comes in fillet form. Samaki wa kupaka ni akina Tafi na zinginezo kutoka kwa bahari.Zapakwa nazi wakati za pikwa.

Next time read whatever is written on the carton. All the fish cartons/fish I have come across are made/processed in China.
