Rohu Carp, locally known as Rahu (رھو) and scientifically named Labeo rohita, is one of South Asia’s most popular and cherished freshwater fish species. Recognized for its mild taste, firm texture, and rich nutritional benefits, Rahu is a staple in traditional Pakistani, Indian, and regional cuisines. Sourced directly from trusted freshwater farms and inland fisheries, Jojo Seafood brings farm-fresh Rohu straight to your doorstep.

Taste & Texture
Rahu offers a mild, slightly sweet flavor paired with firm, flaky white meat. Because its flesh absorbs spices and marinades deeply without falling apart, it is exceptionally well-suited for rich Pakistani-style curries, deep-frying, and charcoal grilling.
