Our Honest Product review
- A Prized Delicacy: The Pomfret is consistently ranked as one of the most desired fish in South and Southeast Asia, commanding a premium price due to its appealing appearance and delicate, buttery taste.
- Affordability vs. Authenticity: Consumers must be aware of the market distinction: the expensive marine Pomfret (Pampus argenteus) is the authentic delicacy, while the highly affordable freshwater 'Roopchanda' (pampus argenteus) dominates the budget market due to intensive, fast-growth farming.
- Health and Safety: It is a lean, heart-healthy whitefish with low mercury risk, especially when responsibly farmed.
- Yield Efficiency: The fish's flat, deep-bodied shape makes it excellent for high yield when prepared as a whole, pan-ready fish (less waste compared to cylindrical fish).
