Seafood has always held a special place in the hearts of Pakistanis. From the aromatic fried fish stalls on Karachi’s coast to hearty fish curries in Punjab, fish is a beloved delicacy enjoyed across the country. However, for many years, getting truly fresh fish was often a challenge — especially for people living far from coastal regions.

Today, this challenge has been beautifully solved through the availability of frozen fish in Pakistan, and one brand leading the way in delivering top-quality frozen seafood is Fresh Street.

At Fresh Street, we bring you a wide selection of premium frozen fish, processed and packed with international hygiene and freshness standards. Whether you’re a seafood enthusiast or a family looking for healthy meal options, frozen fish from Fresh Street guarantees the same taste, texture, and nutrition as freshly caught fish — with the added benefits of convenience and affordability.

Understanding Frozen Fish: A Modern Solution to an Age-Old Problem

Before frozen fish became popular in Pakistan, consumers largely relied on local fish markets or seasonal vendors. While fresh-caught fish has its charm, the reality is that much of what is sold as “fresh” in open markets has often spent hours — even days — in transit before reaching consumers.

During this journey, exposure to fluctuating temperatures, poor handling, and unhygienic conditions can affect the fish’s taste, texture, and safety. That’s where frozen fish revolutionized the industry.

What Is Frozen Fish?

Frozen fish is seafood that’s rapidly frozen right after being caught, using advanced freezing techniques like flash freezing or IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) technology. This process locks in the fish’s natural moisture, nutrients, and flavor — preserving its freshness until it’s ready to be cooked.

At Fresh Street, we use cutting-edge freezing systems to ensure every fillet, prawn, or whole fish you receive is as fresh as the moment it left the sea.

Why Frozen Fish Is Becoming the Preferred Choice in Pakistan

Over the last decade, consumer preferences in Pakistan have evolved significantly. With increased awareness of hygiene, convenience, and healthy eating, frozen foods — especially seafood — have seen a steady rise in demand.

Here are the key reasons why frozen fish in Pakistan is rapidly becoming the go-to choice for modern households:

1. Freshness That Lasts

Contrary to common misconceptions, frozen fish is often fresher than market fish. At Fresh Street, the fish is frozen immediately after being caught, preserving its taste, texture, and nutritional content. This method prevents bacterial growth and oxidation, ensuring every meal tastes as if the fish was caught just hours ago.

2. Year-Round Availability

One major benefit of frozen fish is its availability throughout the year. In Pakistan, fish consumption traditionally peaks during winter, but with frozen fish, you can enjoy seafood anytime — whether it’s summer, Ramadan, or monsoon season. Fresh Street’s products eliminate the need to wait for fishing season or visit crowded fish markets.

3. Hygienic and Safe

Food safety is a top concern for every household. Fresh Street ensures that every product is processed under international hygiene standards, from cleaning and cutting to freezing and packaging. Our fish is handled in temperature-controlled facilities, minimizing human contact and eliminating contamination risks.

4. Convenience for Modern Lifestyles

In today’s fast-paced world, convenience is everything. Frozen fish is cleaned, cut, and ready to cook — saving you time and effort in the kitchen. Whether you’re preparing a family dinner or a quick weekday meal, you can simply defrost, cook, and enjoy delicious seafood without any mess.

5. Nutrient Retention

Freezing helps preserve essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and high-quality protein. These nutrients are vital for heart health, brain function, and immunity. With Fresh Street’s frozen fish, you don’t just get convenience — you get wholesome nutrition in every bite.

6. Budget-Friendly Option

Frozen fish offers excellent value for money. Because it can be stored for months without spoilage, you can buy in bulk and save. You also avoid the seasonal price fluctuations common with fresh fish markets.

Popular Varieties of Frozen Fish in Pakistan

Pakistan’s love for seafood is reflected in the wide range of fish varieties available across its coastal and freshwater regions. At Fresh Street, we source the best of both worlds — from the Arabian Sea to inland fisheries — and bring you the finest frozen seafood selection.

1. Frozen Pomfret (Paplet)

A favorite across Pakistan, pomfret is known for its delicate texture and mild, buttery flavor. Perfect for grilling, frying, or steaming, our frozen pomfret retains all its natural taste and juiciness.

2. Frozen Mackerel (Bangda)

Mackerel is a nutrient powerhouse packed with omega-3 fatty acids. It’s ideal for grilling or pan-frying and is a staple in many coastal cuisines.

3. Frozen Rohu (Labeo Rohita)

Rohu is one of Pakistan’s most popular freshwater fish, especially loved in Punjabi households. Whether you’re making spicy fish curry or fried rohu fillets, our frozen rohu ensures perfect flavor every time.

4. Frozen Prawns and Shrimp

Fresh Street offers premium-quality prawns and shrimp that are cleaned, deveined, and ready to cook. Perfect for biryani, tempura, or garlic butter shrimp.

5. Frozen Sole and Snapper

For those who enjoy continental or fusion dishes, our frozen sole and snapper are great options. They’re tender, flaky, and ideal for baking, sautéing, or grilling.

Each variety at Fresh Street is carefully selected, processed, and packaged to maintain peak freshness and taste.

How to Properly Store and Cook Frozen Fish

One of the biggest advantages of frozen fish is its long shelf life. However, proper storage and preparation are key to maintaining quality.

Storage Tips

• Always keep frozen fish in your freezer at -18°C or lower.

• Avoid refreezing fish once it has been thawed.

• Store in an airtight container or vacuum-sealed bag to prevent freezer burn.

How to Thaw Frozen Fish

• The best method is to thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

• If you need it quickly, place the sealed fish in a bowl of cold water for 20–30 minutes.

• Never thaw fish at room temperature as it may lead to bacterial growth.

Cooking Tips

Frozen fish is extremely versatile. You can grill it with lemon and herbs, fry it with spices for a crispy texture, or bake it with butter and garlic for a gourmet experience.

Because Fresh Street’s fish is already cleaned and portioned, you can prepare restaurant-quality meals at home in minutes.

The Health Benefits of Including Fish in Your Diet

Eating fish regularly is one of the best decisions you can make for your health. Whether fresh or frozen, fish provides a wide range of nutrients that benefit your body and mind.

1. Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Fish is one of the best natural sources of omega-3, which supports heart health, reduces inflammation, and improves brain function.

2. Excellent Source of Protein

Fish provides high-quality, lean protein that helps build muscle, repair tissues, and boost metabolism.

3. Supports Brain and Eye Health

The DHA (a type of omega-3) found in fish is essential for brain development and vision — making fish a great choice for children and adults alike.

4. Strengthens Immunity

Regular fish consumption provides essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, selenium, and zinc that enhance the immune system.

5. Aids Weight Management

Fish is low in calories but high in nutrition. Including it in your diet can help you maintain a healthy weight while enjoying delicious meals.
