Goldlined Seabream, locally known as Kapartan (کپرتان) and scientifically named Rhabdosargus sarba, is a popular and beautifully patterned seawater fish harvested from the coastal waters of the Arabian Sea. Instantly recognizable by its bright silver body adorned with distinct horizontal golden stripes, Kapartan is a close relative of Yellowfin and Goldsilk Breams. Loved by home chefs and seafood enthusiasts across coastal Pakistan, Jojo Seafood brings harbour-fresh Kapartan straight from Karachi Fish Harbour to your doorstep.

Taste & Texture
Kapartan offers a clean, subtly sweet, and rich natural flavor paired with firm, high-quality white meat. Its dense muscle structure provides a satisfying bite that holds together remarkably well during high-heat cooking and baking without flaking apart prematurely.
