distinguish oily fish For the Baikal oil fish Golomyanka Taxobox name Oilfish image Ruvettus pretiosus oilfish .png image caption Drawing by Dr Tony Ayling regnum Animalia phylum Chordata classis Actinopterygii ordo Perciformes familia Gempylidae genus Ruvettus species R. pretiosus binomial Ruvettus pretiosus binomial authority Cocco, 1833 The oilfish , Ruvettus pretiosus , is a species of Gempylidae snake mackerel in the family Gempylidae , and the only species in the genus Ruvettus . It is found in the Mediterranean, middle Atlantic and throughout the southern seas, at depths between 100 and 800 m. Its length is between 80 cm and 2 m. The flesh is very oily and although edible, the oil actually consists of wax ester s, which are not digested like traditional oil. The flesh has an oil content of around 25 , and with serving sizes of several ounces and upwards commonplace, some people experience a laxative side effect from such a large amount of wax esters. Oilfish is pleasantly rich in taste and can be substantially cheaper than some other fish species, leading to some fish sellers to intentionally mislabel it as Stromateidae butterfish or even codfish , despite the utter lack of relation. This leads the consumer to often eat large servings, as they assume it is a fish with which they are familiar, and then some may experience a laxative effect. Because of this, Japan and Italy have imposed an import ban on oilfish, and Australia has banned oilfish from being sold as food. The US FDA has warned consumers about potential mislabeling of oilfish, but has concluded any laxative side effects that occur are uncomfortable at worst and pose no health risk. Hong Kong oilfish controversy Hong Kong Hong Kong s ParknShop supermarket was selling oilfish as cod fish small oilfish small in its stores. Consumers ate the fish, believing it to be codfish , then suffered oily diarrhea keriorrhea as a result. The oilfish labelling controversy was reported by a number of news and media ... more details
