I got this from an email. Everything is in Chinese, so lucky those who knows how to read it. I got a friend to translate a couple for me :)

It looks a bit like anchovies but the Chinese writing on the packaging says it’s white rice fish.

Here’s an extract from the email:

The fish skin is made from PE (plastic) tube, meat is made of some kind of jelly or gelatine. I boiled them with hot water for sometime and the PE burst, exposing the fish meat. These fish have NO bone and the color would not change after boiling for a long time.

I highly recommend everyone to click on the pictures to view a larger version of them.

Try comparing them with the real picture of the white rice fish which i Googled.

Although they look almost the same- tiny, white, slimy, and has black dots as eyes, you can spot the difference if you look close enough.

The real thing is opaque and white, not transparent like the ones from the email.

As quoted from the email,

Nothing from China is safe.
