FAQ
The moniker originates from its streamlined speed, graceful proportions, and prominent luminous eyes in coastal waters. Gastronomically, Rashgoo features delicate intramuscular lipids and practically zero pungent fishy aroma. Its cooked meat emerges silky, moist, and feather-light—resembling the buttery texture of Silver Pomfret while separating seamlessly from the central bone.
The 800g to 1.5kg bracket is considered the culinary sweet spot. It fits perfectly on large banquet presentation platters for 2-3 diners and provides ample fillet thickness that retains succulent moisture during dry-heat grilling. Larger specimens (above 2 kg) are commonly procured for uniform luxury steak portioning.
Rashgoo's flesh structure is considerably more delicate than pelagics like Tuna or Mackerel. Lian utilizes shallow-profile EPS crates stacking no more than two layers per box, separated by food-grade cushioning membranes and waxed liners to eliminate pressure crush. Chilling is exclusively applied using fine micro-flake ice or indirect gel refrigerant packs.
Featuring a compact head and slender skeletal frame, Rashgoo yields high culinary efficiency. Simple evisceration and gill removal results in a minor 10% to 13% dressing loss. When processed into skinless and completely deboned prime fillets, net flesh recovery averages between 58% and 62% of gross catch weight.
The minimum order quantity for wholesale Rashgoo is 30 kg. Crates packed at dawn immediately after coastal auction clearings are routed via priority direct air freight or specialized refrigerated bus lines, guaranteeing dock-to-kitchen handovers within 24 hours under pristine sensory conditions.
Rashgoo contains delicate polyunsaturated lipids vulnerable to oxidation and rancidity if frozen slowly in conventional freezers. Lian strongly champions fresh consumption; however, for long-term inventorying, rapid cryogenic blast freezing at -35°C (IQF) paired with oxygen-barrier vacuum sealing is strictly mandatory, maintaining butter-like flavor for up to 6 months.
