Introduction
Seabream — locally known as Safaid Dandia — is a favorite among seafood lovers in Pakistan. With its tender, flaky texture and naturally mild, sweet taste, it’s a great choice for everything from grilled meals to quick pan-fries. Many customers enjoy it as a more affordable alternative to Pomfret, without compromising on flavor.
Local Names in Pakistan
In different regions and markets, Seabream may also be called Kissi or Kartan, depending on local preference. Whatever the name, it’s widely recognized for its clean, delicate flavor.

Our Seabream is sourced from the coastal waters of Pakistan and handled with care to ensure it arrives fresh, cleaned, and ready to cook. It’s processed locally to bring you quality cuts while supporting sustainable fishing practices.

How to Cook Seabream
Its lightness and texture make it super flexible in the kitchen:
-
Grill it whole with garlic butter or lemon-herb seasoning
-
Fry it until golden for a crispy exterior and tender center
-
Bake it with a drizzle of olive oil and mild spices
-
Use in light curries where the fish won’t break apart
Taste & Texture
Seabream has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and soft, flaky meat. It’s not oily or heavy, making it perfect for light seasoning or as a base for bolder marinades.
