Ordering & Handling Note:
- Minimum Requirement: The minimum order weight for this selection is 1kg.
- Weight Calculation: Prices are determined by the gross weight (whole fish) prior to any processing or cleaning.
- Final Delivery: The actual weight delivered will vary depending on your selected cutting style (e.g., slices or fillets) due to the removal of non-edible parts during cleaning.
The Coastal Gem of Pakistan Known for its striking reddish-copper skin, the Red Cod (Dama) is one of the most reliable choices for a healthy, high-protein diet. Unlike oily fish, Dama offers a refined, subtle sweetness that doesn't overpower your palate. Its neutral flavor makes it a "chef’s canvas," allowing you to experiment with everything from bold desi masalas to light lemon-butter glazes.
Why Dama is Perfect for Your Kitchen:
- Superior Flake: When cooked, the meat breaks into large, succulent white chunks that remain moist.
- Lean & Healthy: Naturally low in calories and saturated fats, but rich in Vitamin B12 and Omega-3s.
- Kid-Friendly: Its mild taste and the ability to be cut into "Boneless Fingers" make it an excellent choice for children.
Expert Preparation & Cooking Tips Because of its soft muscle structure, Dama is the premier choice for steaming and baking. If you prefer frying, we recommend a light batter or breading to protect the delicate flesh. It is also an excellent candidate for our "Boneless Biscuits" cut, perfect for high-end fish stews or gourmet pan-searing.
