The Bhetki, or Barramundi, is widely regarded as the "aristocrat" of white-fleshed fish. Known for its buttery texture and mild, sophisticated flavor, it is the cornerstone of high-end Bengali and Asian seafood cuisine. Our 1kg Bhetki Steaks are cut from large, sea-fresh or estuary-caught fish to ensure thick, juicy portions with a high meat-to-bone ratio.

Top Culinary Uses
Pro Tip: To maintain the pristine white color and delicate texture of the meat, avoid over-frying. A light golden sear on both sides is all you need before adding it to a sauce.
Bhetki Macher Kalia: A rich, spicy Bengali gravy with caramelized onions and yogurt.
Pan-Seared Bhetki: Marinate with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper; sear in olive oil for a healthy, high-protein meal.
Bhetki Paturi: Marinated in mustard paste and coconut, wrapped in banana leaves, and steamed.
Fish Fry (Steak Style): Coat with crumbs or batter for a crunchy exterior and juicy interior.
Handling & Storage
Thawing: Thaw the 1kg pack in the refrigerator for 5–6 hours or submerge the sealed bag in cool water for 20–30 minutes.
Final Touch: A quick rinse with a squeeze of lemon or a dash of vinegar will keep the steaks smelling fresh and bright.
Storage: Keep at $-18^{\circ}\text{C}$ for up to 3 months. Once thawed, cook within 24 hours.
