Bangkok, Governor Chadchart tastes fried black chin tilapia with garlic, confirms delicious taste after visiting Makkasan pond to investigate the incident of fish being knocked out of water, causing villagers to rush to catch them.
Mr. Chadchart Sittipunt, Governor of Bangkok, went to inspect the Makkasan pond after yesterday (July 15) people flocked to catch a large number of floating black-chinned tilapia. Governor Chadchart revealed that the cause was that Makkasan pond connects to Khlong Samsen and flows into the Chao Phraya River. On the other side, it connects to Khlong Saen Saep and flows into Khlong Tan. There is a drainage tunnel that draws water out to the tunnel at Chong Nonsi. The point that looks like a waterfall is water that has been treated from the Din Daeng Water Treatment Plant, which is good water with oxygen.
And yesterday, water was drained to prepare for the amount of rain. We saw a lot of fish because they were waiting for good water with oxygen in this Makkasan pond. 20% of the fis
h we saw were black chin tilapia and 80% were Nile tilapia. Although the amount was smaller, it showed that the problem of black chin tilapia has spread to the heart of Bangkok.
Then, Governor Chadchart traveled to the Din Daeng Vocational Training Center and tried a menu made from black chin tilapia. The person who cooked the food said that the body and meat were similar to Nile tilapia, but the head and scales were hard like tilapia, making it possible to make a variety of menus. The governor also tried fried black chin tilapia with garlic and said that it was delicious.
