Please tell us little about your business?
– Catching featherback fish has been the profession of my husband’s family for long time. After I married him, I worked with his family. I myself really love cooking, and would love to add value to their business. Then I had an idea of making fish cakes. I have been making these fish cakes since then! We also have fresh featherback fish to be sold, fish balls, fish cake batter and fish cakes already fried.
