Fresh Red Cod (Dama) – Soft, Flavorful & Ideal for Curries
Red Cod, locally known as Dama, is a saltwater fish appreciated for its soft texture, delicate flesh, and mild yet flavorful taste. It is especially popular in Pakistani kitchens for traditional fish curries, where a tender fish that absorbs gravy well is preferred.
The flesh is soft, flaky, and moist, making it perfect for curry-based dishes, light gravies, and gentle frying. Dama absorbs spices quickly, allowing masala flavors to penetrate deeply without overpowering the fish itself. Because of its tenderness and comforting taste, Red Cod is commonly chosen for home-style meals and family cooking.
