People flocking restaurant for selfies with 152kg grouper

Catch of the day: Workers scaling the huge grouper to be served at the restaurant in Alor Setar.

ALOR SETAR: This isn’t a fishy tale at all. Countless people flocked to a seafood restaurant here to take selfies with a 152kg grouper, which had become a “star attraction” after it was purchased from a fish wholesaler at a price tag of RM9,120.

The 2.1m fish was so heavy that it took four people to hang it up for viewing at the Hai Jing Seafood Restaurant in Jalan Mahdali here.
