Escolar Fish Promotion Sparks Debate Over Safety Concerns in 'Korona' Supermarket Video
MINSK – A recent promotional video by 'Korona' hypermarkets featuring escolar fish has sparked discussion among consumers regarding the product's safety. The video, uploaded on July 31, 2025, showcases a man touting escolar as a delicious and healthy option for grilling, highlighting its "soft, juicy fillet with a delicate taste" and its richness in "healthy fats and protein." However, comments on the video quickly brought to light concerns about escolar, also known as oilfish. One user stated, "This fish is very dangerous, and it is forbidden in many places. Just go to any forum for 'oilfish'. Believe me, its wonderful taste is not worth the consequences." Another comment pointed out a packaging issue, saying, "Hahahaha, the vacuum pack is broken, cannot be sold." Escolar is known to contain high levels of wax esters, which can cause digestive issues in some individuals if consumed in large quantities or improperly prepared. While not universally banned, its sale and labeling are regulated in various countries due to these potential effects. The differing views presented by the supermarket's promotion and consumer comments underscore the importance of consumer awareness regarding food products.
