Mullet Fish (Boi)

Introduction

Known locally as Boi, Mullet is a favorite among seafood lovers across Karachi and other coastal cities. With its mild, slightly nutty taste and soft, flaky texture, it’s a simple, everyday fish that’s easy to cook and perfect for both traditional and light recipes.

Local Names in Pakistan

You may find Mullet listed as Grey Mullet, Sole, or Boi, depending on the region and market. No matter the name, it’s known for being affordable, easy to prepare, and full of gentle flavor.

Source & Processing

Our Mullet fish is freshly handled and cleaned in hygienic facilities, processed from the day’s catch arriving from local coastal suppliers. We do not sell or ship live fish — only cleaned, prepared cuts ready for your kitchen.

Cutting Options & Yield Guide

Most Mullet fish weigh between 100g and 500g per piece.

Easy Cooking Options

• Pan-Fry: Crispy outside, tender inside

• Bake: Preserves its natural flavor and moisture

• Steam: For a soft, health-friendly option

Mullet cooks quickly and soaks up spices beautifully, which makes it perfect for both everyday and spiced-up dishes.

Taste & Texture

Mullet has a light, clean flavor with a medium-firm, flaky bite. It doesn’t overpower other ingredients, so it works just as well with simple lemon and herbs as it does with garlic-chili or desi masalas.

Storage Guidelines

To get the most out of your Mullet:

• Store in the fridge and use within 2–3 days

• For longer storage, freeze in an airtight container to preserve flavor and texture

Seasoning Ideas & Side Pairings

Mullet pairs well with:

• Citrus like lemon or lime

• Fresh herbs such as coriander, dill, or parsley

• Great alongside steamed rice, vegetables, or light pasta

Choosing Fresh Mullet

We only deliver cleaned and prepared fish, but here’s what to know about quality Mullet:

• Flesh should be firm and moist, not soft or dry

• A natural silver shine is a good indicator of freshness

• Mild oceanic smell (never fishy or sour)
