Our Honest Product review
- Consumer Favorite: Rohu is one of the most highly liked and demanded freshwater fish locally due to its combination of delicate flavor, white color, and firm texture. It is often preferred over Catla for its flavor and more textured flesh.
- Aquaculture Success: Its compatibility, fast growth rate (up to 700–800 g in one year), and the advancement of induced breeding techniques have made it a sustainable, high-volume product, reducing reliance on wild river stocks.
- Nutritional Edge: It consistently shows a higher crude protein content than its co-cultured counterparts, Catla and Mrigal, confirming its superior nutritional value as a protein source.
-
Suitable for both local consumption and international shipping, with proper handling to maintain quality and freshness.
Usage
- Culinary Staple: Extensively consumed in South Asian cuisine. Highly versatile for curries (Rohu Jhol), deep-frying (often marinated with salt and turmeric), baking, and grilling. A fried Rohu recipe is noted as early as the 12th century.
- Aquaculture Component: The most important species in carp polyculture systems, where its column-feeding habit complements the surface (Catla) and bottom (Mrigal) feeders, maximizing pond productivity.
- Health Food: Recommended for its Omega-3s (beneficial for heart and brain health), high Vitamin D (may prevent osteoporosis), and lean protein.
- Game Fish: Also prized as a game fish in its native waters.
