Phnom Penh: After facing pressure from its customers after it was revealed that trout was being sold mixed with salmon in its store, the famous store “Charnai” has announced its suspension from August 22, 2026.
The announcement of the suspension of the operation of this famous store comes after a scandal broke out about consumer safety after it was discovered that Charnai’s store sold fresh trout, while the store never confirmed to its customers that it was this type of fish, while all customers considered it to be fresh salmon.
After the scandal broke out that led to the loss of trust from customers, the “Charnai” store came out to confirm once and for all, but suddenly on the morning of June 23, 2026 Announced suspension of operations from August onwards.
According to the announcement of the shop, “Once again, the shop would like to apologize for the inconvenience and thank all customers who have supported our shop in the past. We would like to inform you that if nothing changes, all shops will be suspended for a long time until August 22, 2026.”
The announcement of the suspension of operations is made to allow time to replenish existing stock and to give employees enough time to find new jobs at the same location or in their hometowns and to give landlords time to find new tenants. This is according to the statement.
However, Charnay has reiterated that it only sells fresh Atlantic salmon raised in Norway or Australia and trout raised in Norway. The fresh fjord trout at Charnay is fish raised in the deep sea in Norway and can be safely eaten raw. We never sell wild trout, nor do we sell farmed trout anywhere other than Norway.
