Fresh Mrigal Carp (Murathi Fish) Online Delivery in Karachi, Lahore & Across Pakistan

Mrigal Carp, locally known as Murathi (مراٹھی) and scientifically named Cirrhinus mrigala, is a premier freshwater staple harvested from controlled aquaculture ponds and inland waters across Pakistan. Celebrated for its tender white flesh, pleasant freshwater taste, and economic value, Murathi is a favorite for family dinners, traditional curries, and local fish fry preparations. Sourced directly from trusted freshwater farms, Jojo Seafood brings farm-fresh Murathi straight to your doorstep.

Taste & Texture
Murathi offers a mild, slightly sweet flavor profile with soft, flaky white meat. Because its delicate flesh absorbs marinades, garlic, turmeric, and green chili exceptionally well, it is uniquely suited for robust desi-style gravies and shallow tawa frying.
