After seven years in the tourism industry, partners Khairul Nizam Amat Zaini, 42, and Nor Azizan Adnan, 49, have started a salted fish venture to support their families.

When the movement control order was implemented last year following the Covid-19 pandemic, they began familiarising themselves with the fish-mongering business by buying fresh fish sourced from Tanjong Karang in Kuala Selangor.
