Tripletail, locally known as Dai (ڈائی) and scientifically named Lobotes surinamensis, is a premium marine reef fish harvested from the coastal zones of the Arabian Sea. Renowned for its firm, pure white meat and a taste profile that closely mirrors Red Snapper (Heera) and Emperor (Mulla), Dai is a top-tier choice for boneless seafood lovers. Sourced directly from Karachi Fish Harbour, Jojo Seafood brings harbour-fresh Dai straight to your doorstep with total transparency.

Taste & Texture
Dai offers a mild, sweet, and clean flavor profile paired with firm, thick, and flaky white meat. Free from any strong fishy odor, its structured flesh holds together exceptionally well under high heat, absorbing citrus, light herbs, and heavy spices without flaking apart.
