Bronze Croaker, locally known as Raingar (رینگر) and scientifically named Otolithoides biauritus, is a premium, large-sized croaker species harvested from the warm coastal waters of the Arabian Sea. Recognized for its distinct bronze-silver sheen and robust, meaty frame, Raingar is highly prized in both local seafood markets and international export channels for its clean white flesh and exceptional versatility. Sourced directly from Karachi Fish Harbour, Jojo Seafood brings harbour-fresh Raingar straight to your doorstep.

Taste & Texture
