White Barracuda (Safaid Kund)

Introduction

Most people think White Barracuda (locally called Safaid Kund) is too “hard” or only good for BBQs. But that’s far from the truth. This fish brings the perfect balance of firm meat, bold flavor, and high protein — making it a smart pick for everyday meals and gym diets alike.

It’s not too oily, doesn’t fall apart while cooking, and absorbs spices really well. So whether you’re frying, grilling, or tossing it in karahi masala — Safaid Kund gives you real seafood satisfaction.

At Gwadarseafood, we deliver fresh, wild-caught Safaid Kund, cleaned and cut the way you want it — no chemicals, no frozen storage, just real sea-to-table freshness.
