White Barracuda (Safaid Kund Fish) — Lean, Firm & Perfect for Fry, Grill, BBQ & Spicy Masala Dishes
White Barracuda — locally known as Safaid Kund — is a lean, firm, and mildly flavored ocean fish that’s perfect for those who love bold masala dishes, crispy fry, and BBQ-style cooking. It has a tight meat structure, meaning it stays firm even when cooked at high heat, making it excellent for tawa fry, grilled fillets, karahi, and charcoal BBQ.
Because Safaid Kund is a fast-swimming predator fish, its meat is naturally low in fat, high in protein, and deeply satisfying in taste — without being overly oily or strong-smelling. This makes it a great option for families who want something flavorful yet clean-tasting.
For customers outside Karachi (Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, Faisalabad, Peshawar), Anbar Fish ensures cold-chain nationwide delivery, so your White Barracuda stays fresh, firm, and perfectly chilled upon arrival.
