Specifications & Details

Product Description

Known regionally across Southern Iranian ports as Zobaidi (derived from the Arabic root for butter, reflecting its melt-in-mouth tenderness), Silver Pomfret (Pampus argenteus) represents the ultimate luxury in Persian Gulf wild fisheries. The fish is celebrated for its negligible waste, absence of sharp intramuscular bones, and exceptionally delicate texture.
Lian meticulously grades fresh Zobaidi catches into tight weight classes (from 200g single-serve up to 1kg+ jumbo specimens), packaging them in protective dry-chill boxes designed to preserve skin luster and prevent flesh water-logging during B2B transit.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Silver Pomfret cannot be commercially farmed; it is 100% wild-caught. Due to its virtually bone-free fillets, exquisite buttery mouthfeel, fierce bidding in high-end GCC markets (especially Kuwait and UAE), and strictly regulated seasonal quotas, it trades at the peak of marine commodity valuation.

Shipments are graded into 4 precise classes: Small (200-300g), Medium (300-500g), Large (500-700g), and Jumbo Premium (700g to 1kg+). Wholesale pricing scales progressively upward with higher weight bands.

Silver Pomfret features very thin skin and a compressed rhomboid shape. Slicing the belly cavity damages its prized table presentation in luxury hospitality, accelerates oxidation of belly fats, and causes moisture loss. Preserving it whole round guarantees prime commercial value.

The wholesale MOQ is 30 kg. Crates packed from overnight coastal landings are dispatched via the earliest morning commercial flight from Bushehr to Tehran Mehrabad Airport, ensuring hotel handovers by noon on the very same day.

Zobaidi scales are exceptionally delicate. Lian eliminates bulk dumping directly onto crushed ice; instead, layers of fish are separated using food-grade waxed parchment sheets, allowing thermal transfer without mechanical ice abrasion.

For export to Dubai, Kuwait, and Doha, consignments leave with official IVO International Health Certificates, Chamber of Commerce Certificates of Origin, and IATA-spec packing manifests. Direct routes from Bushehr or Shiraz enable port clearances within 6 hours of take-off.

Fresh Zobaidi presents bright ruby-red gills devoid of grey mucus, prominent crystal-clear convex eyes, and high skin luster. Gentle finger pressure on the flank should demonstrate immediate elastic recoil with zero residual indentation.
