The stereotype “Mintai – fish for cats” appeared in the 1980s, when this fish on the shelves was sold at 35 kopecks per kilogram. The cost of fish products in the Soviet Union was strikingly different from today.
Prices have changed in a negative direction, so you have to save money. Mintai under capitalism ceased to be considered a fish for cats. The
