King fish prices at QR100 a kg due to shortage DOHA: A severe shortage of king fish in the local market has pushed the prices to nearly QR100 a kg, perhaps an all-time-high. This is about a nine-folds jump in the prices within 10-15 days as king fish (small size) was sold at QR11.5 a kg a couple of weeks ago, said a salesman at one of the leading hypermarkets. According to reports, the prices of king fish reached QR90 a kg during the first week of August last year. The sudden jump in the prices of the fish, one of the most favourite varieties of seafood among citizens and expatriates, has led some customers calling for an immediate intervention by market watchdogs. “This is unbelievable. How the prices can fluctuate so much with in such a short time? This is happening just because there is no regulation from municipal authorities. The Consumer Protection Department should also intervene,” Ahmed Al Emadi, a Qatari who had come to buy the fish, this newspaper. thepeninsulaqatar/news/qatar/310709/king-fish-prices-at-qr100-a-kg-due-to-shortage
