Salmon Fish (Rawans)

Indian Salmon (Rawans) — Rich, Tender & Perfect for Frying, Curry & Grilling

Indian Salmon — locally known as Rawans — is one of the most flavorful and nutritious fish you can bring to your kitchen. With its beautiful orange-pink flesh, tender texture, and naturally rich taste, Rawans is perfect for both traditional desi recipes and simple continental-style meals.

Unlike other oily fish, Indian Salmon has a smooth, clean flavor that works equally well in frying, grilling, baking, tawa recipes, and spicy Karachi-style curry. It stays moist during cooking and absorbs spices wonderfully, making every bite soft, juicy, and full of depth.

Freshly sourced and chilled for maximum freshness, our Rawans gives you premium quality and authentic salmon taste straight from the Arabian Sea.
