Introduction
If you enjoy seafood that’s meaty, clean-tasting, and easy to cook, White Barracuda — known locally as Safaid Kund — is an excellent choice.

This Arabian Sea fish is perfect for frying, BBQ, baking, pan-searing, or spicy masala curry. Its firm flesh doesn’t break during cooking, making it a great pick for home kitchens and restaurants alike. Freshly sourced, professionally cleaned, and delivered chilled, you get top-quality Safaid Kund straight to your doorstep in Karachi.
