Specifications & Details

Product Description

Black Pomfret (Parastromateus niger), known across southern ports as Halva Siah, is a premier wild marine commodity widely considered the closest culinary counterpart to Silver Pomfret (Zobaidi). Characterized by a rhomboid laterally compressed profile and delicate dark-grey dermal pigmentation, it yields snow-white, exquisitely tender, and flaky meat packed with heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids.
The 500g to 700g bracket (Grade 2) delivers extraordinary table efficiency: with compact viscera and a thin flat spine, trimming waste is negligible, optimizing plate portion yields for fine-dining banquets. Khan selects freshly landed specimens directly from artisanal boats in Bushehr, packing them whole round on hygienic flake ice within insulated EPS shippers to preserve ocean-fresh sensory attributes.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Black Pomfret shares a laterally compressed anatomy, bone-free flaky white meat, and delicate mouthfeel nearly identical to Silver Pomfret, yet trades at a significantly more competitive price point. The 500-700g grade optimizes food cost margins with negligible visceral waste and striking whole fish platter presentation.

The minimum wholesale order is 30 kg (representing approximately 40 to 60 calibrated fish). Consignments are sorted dockside at Bushehr, packed into heavy EPS thermal shippers with sanitary flake ice, and dispatched via priority air cargo or refrigerated trucks.

Black Pomfret exhibits one of the lowest dressing losses among marine fish: the visceral cavity is exceptionally compact, resulting in gutting and gill losses of only 8% to 10%. Consequently, usable carcass recovery exceeds 90% of gross landing weight.

Black Pomfret scales are very fine and strip away easily under running cold water using the back of a knife. The thin, tender skin does not require peeling for frying as it crisps up deliciously; however, for skinless fillets, the dermal layer pulls away cleanly after a shallow incision.

Yes; Khan's processing hall utilizes automated descaling and evisceration machinery. Clients can order Black Pomfret fully scaled, gutted, and rinsed with ozonated chilled water, packed kitchen-ready in vacuum barrier trays.

All consignments of Khan Black Pomfret are dispatched with an electronic quarantine health certificate from the Bushehr Veterinary Directorate with online verification codes. Valid corporate tax invoices with VAT are registered via national fiscal portals.

Fish must be aligned in a single layer inside perforated stainless steel hotel pans over a fresh bed of food-grade crushed ice held strictly between 0 and 2°C. Perforations ensure continuous meltwater drainage to prevent tissue waterlogging, while daily ice replenishment preserves dermal sheen.
