Japanese Meagre, locally known as Sua (سوا) and scientifically named Argyrosomus japonicus, is a premium deep-sea marine fish harvested from the deeper waters of the Arabian Sea. Highly celebrated not only for its rich, flaky, and juicy white meat but also for its legendary fish maw (swim bladder) prized in global markets, Sua is a luxurious choice for seafood connoisseurs. Sourced directly from Karachi Fish Harbour, Jojo Seafood brings harbour-fresh Sua straight to your doorstep.

Taste & Texture
Sua offers a mild, sweet flavor profile with moist, tender white meat that is completely odorless. Its rich, flaky texture is similar to snappers and seabreams but offers an even more robust and satisfying bite that holds up brilliantly under high heat or slow cooking.
