The Indian Lizardfish (Disco) is a versatile selection that rewards proper preparation. Known for its delicate white meat, it adapts beautifully to various cooking styles when handled with precision. We offer the following professional cuts to suit your specific kitchen needs.
1. Whole (Uncleaned)
The fish is provided in its most natural state, exactly as harvested from the ocean, with scales and skin intact.
- Best For: Traditionalists who prefer cleaning at home or for specialized preservation.

2. Whole and Gutted
We professionally remove the internal organs and gills while maintaining the fish’s natural, streamlined silhouette.
- Best For: Whole-fish pan-frying or oven-baking.
- Benefit: Leaving the central bone intact during cooking helps distribute heat evenly and infuses the meat with a deeper, richer flavor profile.

The Disco is cut crosswise into thick, uniform, bone-in sections.
- Best For: Traditional fish curries (Salan) or spicy shallow frying.
