Indo-Pacific Sailfish, locally known as Ghora (گھوڑا) and scientifically named Istiophorus platypterus, is a majestic migratory pelagic predator harvested from the offshore waters of the Arabian Sea. Celebrated for its striking appearance, massive flexible sail-like dorsal fin, and economical boneless-friendly white meat, Ghora is a favorite among caterers, commercial fry joints, and event kitchens. Sourced directly from Karachi Fish Harbour, Jojo Seafood brings harbour-fresh Ghora straight to your doorstep.
