Fresh Silver Sillago (Ladyfish / Bhambore) Online Delivery in Karachi, Lahore & Across Pakistan

Silver Sillago, locally known as Bhambore (بھنبھور), is a prized coastal seawater fish highly valued for its sweet flavor, soft white meat, and delicate edible bones. Scientifically named Sillago sihama, it is a high-demand delicacy in both local markets and international seafood exports. Sourced directly from Karachi Fish Harbour, Jojo Seafood delivers harbour-fresh Bhambore straight to your doorstep.

Taste & Texture
Bhambore offers a light, naturally sweet flavor with tender, flaky white flesh. Because its fine internal bones soften completely during frying, it provides a hassle-free, whole-fish eating experience that easily absorbs light desi masalas and herbs.
