The sharply increased retail prices for mackerel became the main meme of the Moldovan information space in the past week. In social networks, consumers without a sense of humor posted photos of doubled price tags of some supermarket chains with angry remarks. Consumers with a sense of humor joked about “dream fish”.

Traders claim that the sharp increase in prices for mackerel in supermarket chains in Moldova is due to a significant reduction in EU quotas for catching this, as well as some other types of marine fish and its rise in price on the main European trading platforms, Logos Press reports.
