🐟 Product Information
Our seafood is primarily wild-caught directly from the Arabian Sea, ensuring natural taste, superior quality, and freshness. Species such as pomfret, snapper, tuna, and kingfish are caught daily from Karachi Fish Harbor.
For freshwater fish like Rohu, Mori, and Tilapia, we also source from clean, regulated fish farms within Pakistan where quality and hygiene are strictly monitored.
We clearly label the source of each item on our product page so you always know what you're buying.
We source all seafood directly from trusted suppliers and auction points at the Karachi Fish Harbor — one of Pakistan’s largest seafood hubs. We also work with:
Local boats operating in Gwadar, Pasni, and Ormara
Trusted fish farms for select freshwater species
Seasonal supply lines for items like squid, oysters, and prawns
This allows us to offer a wide selection of freshly caught seafood with full traceability and consistent availability.
Not all seafood is available throughout the year. Availability depends on seasonal fishing cycles, weather conditions, and catch volume. For example:
Squid and octopus are more common from September to March
Pomfret and kingfish are usually caught year-round, but may vary in size
Lobsters and crabs are seasonal and in high demand during winter.
Sea Fish are caught from the ocean (saltwater) and include species like Pomfret, Tuna, Kingfish, and Snapper. These fish generally have a firm texture and bold flavor.
Freshwater Fish come from rivers, lakes, or ponds and include species like Rohu, Tilapia, and Mori. These are typically milder in flavor and softer in texture.
Choosing between them depends on your taste preference and the type of dish you're preparing. Both types are available in raw and marinated form.
Yes. All fish are:
Scaled (if needed)
Cleaned internally (guts removed)
Washed with clean, filtered water
Cut as per your selected style (e.g., steak, fillet, boneless)
We do not deliver uncleaned fish unless specifically requested. You can also leave cutting instructions during checkout to guide our team.
Currently, we do not deliver live seafood due to transportation and handling limitations. However, all seafood is processed the same day it's caught or received from the harbor to maintain peak freshness.
If you need special items like live crabs or lobsters for events or bulk supply, you can contact us directly, and we’ll try to arrange a custom order.
Yes. All prawns are:
Properly cleaned
Head removed (if selected)
Shell-on or shell-off (based on your choice)
Deveined carefully to ensure hygiene and taste
We also offer prawns in different sizes (Small, Medium, Large, Jumbo) and can pack them with or without tails depending on your cooking need.
Seafood is priced and sold by weight (in kilograms or grams), which is the standard in the industry. However, some items — like whole crabs, lobsters, or large fish — are listed with approximate size and pieces per kg.
If you're unsure how many pieces you’ll get, you can message us before placing the order, and we’ll guide you based on current catch sizes.
Yes! We offer combo boxes and value packs, especially during festive seasons or promotions. These may include:
Mix of fish fillets, prawns, and crabs
Pre-marinated ready-to-cook sets
Boneless fish and spice kits
Weekly family packs or bulk deals
You can find them in our website or watch for banners highlighting new offers.
No, we currently do not offer any imported seafood. All our products are 100% locally sourced from trusted suppliers and fishers within Pakistan.
Our seafood is caught directly from the Arabian Sea and inland freshwater farms, ensuring freshness, sustainability, and full traceability. We take pride in supporting local fishermen and the Pakistani seafood industry.
If in the future we add any imported items, they will be clearly labeled as such on the product page.
🔪 Cutting & Cleaning
We offer a variety of professional cutting options tailored to different seafood types. When placing your order, you can choose from:
Whole (cleaned) – Fish is gutted, scaled (if needed), but left whole
Steak Cut – Fish is sliced into circular or cross-section steaks (ideal for frying or grilling)
Fillet Cut – Boneless, flat slices of meat from both sides of the fish
Boneless Cubes – Small, even cubes with all bones removed
Headless or Tail-off – Available for prawns and select fish
You’ll find available options for each item on its product page. You can also leave special instructions in the comments box during checkout.
Yes, absolutely. We provide boneless cutting for a wide range of fish.
Boneless cutting is a popular choice for families with children, elderly members, or those who prefer convenience. Just select the “Boneless” option on the product page, or mention it during checkout.
Please note: boneless cutting results in a lower net weight due to trimming and bone removal.
Yes, we offer full fillet cuts — perfect for baking, pan-frying, or grilling. A fillet is a flat, boneless cut taken from both sides of the fish, with skin-on or skin-off depending on the species.
All fillets are cleaned thoroughly and packed hygienically to preserve freshness.
Yes. All seafood is cleaned thoroughly before delivery. Unless requested otherwise:
Heads are cleaned (gills and internal organs removed)
Tails are trimmed or left intact based on the cut
For prawns, headless options are also available
If you’d like to keep the head for cooking (e.g., for soups), simply leave a note while placing your order.
Yes, you can fully customize how you want your seafood cut. During checkout, you’ll see a "Special Instructions" box where you can:
Mention exact cutting style
Ask for fish pieces with or without skin
Request specific thickness for steaks or fillets
Ask for split head, tail cut, or inner bones removed
Our team reads each instruction carefully and prepares your order as close to your preference as possible.
Yes, we offer prawns in the following forms:
With head & shell (whole)
Headless & shell less
Headless with shell
- Headless & shell less with tail on
- Fully cleaned (headless, shelled, and deveined)
Yes, we are currently building a Cutting Guide section on our website where you can:
View images of different cutting styles
Understand which style is best for each cooking method
Choose the most suitable option confidently while ordering
This guide will be visible on every product page and is especially helpful for new buyers.
Yes. We offer cleaned and cut crabs for your convenience. You can choose:
Whole crab (uncleaned)
Cleaned (with shell removed)
Cut into halves or quarters for curry or gravy
Crabs are cleaned by removing the gills and internal parts, then rinsed thoroughly. Just mention your preferred style when ordering.
No, we do not charge anything extra for cutting. All basic cutting services — including fillet, steak, boneless, cleaned whole fish, and prawn cleaning — are completely free of charge and included in the product price.
We believe in providing full value to our customers without hidden costs. You can choose your preferred cutting style at no additional cost when placing your order.
❄️ Storage & Freshness
Our seafood is sourced fresh daily from the Karachi Fish Harbor and trusted suppliers. We never use preserved or old stock. Once the seafood is received:
It's cleaned and processed on the same day
Packed in hygienic, food-grade materials
Delivered directly to you with cold-chain handling
For cities outside Karachi, seafood is dispatched on the day of arrival or catch and packed with insulation and cooling packs to maintain freshness during transit.
For Karachi and nearby areas, seafood is delivered chilled, not frozen, ensuring you get it as fresh as possible. We pack it immediately after cleaning and cutting to preserve its natural texture and taste.
For outstation orders, seafood is lightly frozen for safe transport. It is packed in insulated thermopore boxes to maintain temperature for several hours until you receive it. No artificial preservatives or long-term freezing is used.
Once you receive your seafood:
If using the same day: Keep it in the refrigerator (0–4°C)
If using after 1–2 days: Place it in an airtight container and refrigerate
For longer storage: Freeze the seafood immediately, preferably in sealed zip-lock or vacuum bags
For marinated items, always refrigerate and consume within 1–2 days for best flavor.
📦 Pro Tip: Avoid leaving seafood at room temperature for more than 30 minutes.
Fresh seafood can typically be stored in the fridge for:
Raw fish: Up to 24–48 hours
Cooked seafood: Up to 3 days
Marinated seafood: 1–2 days (depending on ingredients)
Always store seafood in an airtight container or wrap it tightly with cling film. If you don’t plan to use it soon, freezing is a safer option to retain quality.
We do not recommend refreezing seafood that has already been thawed, especially if it has reached room temperature. Refreezing can affect:
Taste and texture
Nutritional value
Safety (increased risk of bacterial growth)
If you must freeze, do it immediately after delivery while the seafood is still cold. Once thawed, use it within 24 hours and avoid freezing again.
Spoiled seafood usually has one or more of the following signs:
Strong, sour, or ammonia-like smell
Discoloration (greyish or dull flesh)
Sticky, slimy surface
Soft or mushy texture
Always inspect seafood before use. If you notice any of the signs above, it’s better to discard it. When stored properly and used in time, your seafood should remain safe and delicious.
No. We never use chemical preservatives or artificial additives in any of our seafood products. All seafood is:
Naturally cleaned and cut
Delivered fresh or lightly frozen
Packed using only ice, ice gels, or dry ice when needed
Our goal is to provide seafood in its purest, healthiest form, without unnecessary processing.
In Karachi and Lahore, seafood is generally packed in clean, food-grade plastic bags, not vacuum packed — to preserve freshness without compressing the meat.
For outstation orders, we use airtight and insulated packaging to maintain cold temperature, and vacuum sealing is provided on request (for an extra layer of safety during long travel). If you require vacuum packing, please inform us while placing your order.
- Karachi & Lahore: Seafood arrives chilled (freshly processed, not frozen)
Other Cities: Seafood may arrive lightly frozen or semi-frozen, depending on transit time and packaging type
Either way, freshness is guaranteed. Our packaging is designed to retain cold temperatures for hours, whether you receive it at home or at the railway station.
Yes, all seafood is delivered with proper temperature control. Depending on location:
Karachi/Lahore: Ice packs are added only if needed for longer routes or weather conditions
Other Cities: All orders include ice within thermopore boxes for freshness and safe travel
We monitor packaging requirements based on current weather and distance so your seafood stays in perfect condition until it reaches you.
📦 Packaging & Safety
Our seafood is packaged with care, hygiene, and freshness in mind:
Inner packaging: Food-grade plastic or vacuum-sealed pouches to prevent leakage
Outer packaging: Sturdy thermopore or insulated boxes
Cooling: Ice or dry ice (for outstation deliveries)
Each order is tightly sealed to ensure there’s no contamination, odor, or leakage during transport.
Yes, our packaging is specifically designed for long-distance and outstation orders. We use:
Thick thermopore boxes to insulate the seafood
Ice to keep it chilled for 8–12 hours or longer
Leak-proof, sealed pouches to prevent mess or spoilage
We’ve tested our packaging in real-world conditions — seafood remains safe and fresh during transit, even to cities like Islamabad, Faisalabad, and Peshawar.
Outstation orders are packed in thick, insulated thermopore boxes lined with:
Ice (weather dependent)
Additional inner plastic wrap to prevent water leakage
Labeling with customer info and product details
These boxes are lightweight yet strong, and suitable for shipping.
Yes, in many cases. Our thermopore can be reused for:
Temporary storage of chilled items
Carrying items on picnics or road trips
Household use (plant trays, ice storage, etc.)
However, we encourage you to dispose of plastic liners responsibly and avoid reusing seafood packaging for dry food.
We use cold chain packing techniques, including:
Ice: Slow-release cooling agents that keep seafood chilled for hours
Thermopore insulation: Prevents outside heat from entering
Quick dispatch: Orders are packed and shipped early morning or late evening for optimal temperature.
While we don’t yet offer real-time packaging tracking, we do:
Confirm packaging completion via WhatsApp before dispatch
Send images (on request) showing your seafood, cutting, and packaging
Provide estimated delivery timing and courier/train info (for outstation orders)
This keeps customers fully informed before the order leaves our facility.
We take all precautions to avoid this, but in the rare case your packaging is:
Damaged
Leaking
Not cold inside
Please take clear photos of the issue immediately and contact us within 1 hour of receiving your order. We'll investigate and deal with it depending on the situation.
Customer satisfaction and food safety are our top priorities.
We're actively working on eco-friendly packaging alternatives, and you may request minimal packaging during checkout if:
You're collecting your order in person
You’re using it immediately and don’t need gel packs or insulation
You prefer less plastic waste
Please note: minimal packaging reduces seafood’s cooling duration, so use it only if you're nearby or receiving the order quickly.
Absolutely. We offer custom packaging options for:
Gifting seafood boxes
Event catering (cleaned, labeled, and portioned)
Restaurant or bulk supply orders
Gift packaging may include custom labeling, decorative outer wrap, or bundled sets. For bulk or business orders, we also include cutting tags, portion separation, and labeling. Just share your requirements with our team on WhatsApp.

The product was spoiled or unfit for consumption upon delivery
A cancellation request was made before dispatch
Refunds may be partial or full, depending on the issue. All refund requests must be submitted within 1 hour of receiving the order, with photographic proof if applicable.
Due to the perishable nature of seafood, we do not accept returns for personal taste preferences or if the item was handled improperly after delivery.
However, if there is a genuine issue with the quality or freshness, we will thoroughly investigate and offer a fair resolution.
If your seafood arrives spoiled, leaking, or not properly chilled, please:

Refunds are processed within:
1–3 working days for store credit or voucher
3–7 working days for bank/online transfer (for prepaid orders)

The rider will wait for a limited time and may try calling
If the order is returned, it may not be eligible for a refund due to the perishable nature of seafood

Safe packaging for local or intercity delivery
Customer satisfaction is very important to us, and we handle all complaints on a case-by-case basis to ensure fairness.

🧼 Hygiene & Quality
Yes, all seafood is thoroughly washed:
Sea fish & prawns are washed with filtered water multiple times
We remove blood, dirt, and surface bacteria
After cutting/cleaning, seafood is washed again and then dried slightly before packaging
For marinated items, we ensure the fish is fully cleaned, washed, and dry-patted before applying masala to maintain quality.
We only deal in fresh seafood. Here's how we maintain freshness:
Our boats bring daily catch from Gwadar, Karachi, and Pasni
Orders are cut and packed fresh on the same day
For out-of-city orders, we chill (freeze) items before dispatch
We do not stock old or long-frozen seafood unless requested
If freezing is requested (e.g., for travel), we can vacuum seal and freeze the order safely.
We maintain strict separation protocols in our workspace:
Separate knives and boards for sea fish, freshwater fish, prawns, and crabs
Marinated items are prepared in a separate section
Cleaned seafood never comes in contact with raw waste
Our staff is trained to wash hands and change gloves between every order
This reduces contamination risk and ensures food safety.
We maintain freshness by:
Packing in thermopore boxes with ice gel or dry ice
Minimizing order-to-dispatch time
Avoiding exposure to sunlight or heat during delivery
Using cool storage compartments for longer routes
We track weather conditions and adjust packaging based on season and distance.
Absolutely. We’ve designed our cold packaging and logistics system specifically for outstation customers:
Fish is packed fresh, not frozen
Carefully chilled using ice
Wrapped in plastic and sealed to avoid leakage or odor
Many regular customers from Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, and Multan trust us for clean, safe, and high-quality seafood — every time.
📊 Weight, Quantity & Pricing
Our prices are based on the gross weight (before cleaning). This is the standard practice in seafood retail.
For example:
If you order 1 kg of whole fish with head & guts, the price applies to the full 1 kg.
After cleaning (removing guts, scales, head, etc.), the net weight may reduce depending on the fish type and your selected cut.
We always mention this clearly to ensure full transparency.
Seafood, especially fish, naturally loses weight during cleaning. The reduction depends on:
Whether the head, skin, and bones are removed
Type of cut selected (e.g. fillet vs steak)
Water loss during washing
For example:
Whole fish cleaned into boneless fillets may reduce by 50%
Fish cut into steaks or curry pieces may reduce by 25%
We always try to minimize waste while following your exact cutting instructions.
All seafood is priced per kilogram (kg) based on pre-cleaning weight unless otherwise stated.

Minimums depend on the item and delivery type:
For Karachi: Minimum order starts from 2 kg to 4 kg of seafood.
For Outstation orders (Lahore, Islamabad, etc.): Minimum of 3–4 kg or Rs. 3000+ recommended for cold chain cost efficiency
Cooked food orders may have a separate minimum (usually Rs. 1000+), especially for delivery after 6 PM.
We understand you may want to receive a specific quantity after cleaning (e.g., 500g of fillet). However, it's not always possible to guarantee exact results, as seafood yield depends on the type, size, and availability of the fish.
Since every fish has a different cleaning loss and size variation, and availability changes daily, we cannot always provide guaranteed net weight requests. You can still mention your preference in the notes, and our team will try its best to match it — but we advise ordering a little extra to be safe.
Not always. Fish is a natural product, and each one differs slightly in size, water content, and texture. After cleaning or cutting, the final weight may vary up or down slightly from your ordered quantity.
We aim to stay within a reasonable margin (±50o–100g) and try to balance it fairly
Yes, you can mix different items to meet the minimum — but there are some limits, especially for orders outside Karachi:
For Lahore and other major cities, the minimum is 4 kg total, and you can mix items (e.g., 2 kg fish + 2 kg Prawns).
However, no single item can be below 2 kg, due to packaging and handling standards.
For certain seafood we may require a minimum of 3–4 kg per item.
This helps maintain freshness and ensures safe delivery in thermopore or cold packaging.
