Deshi Magur (Cleaned) – [দেশি মাগুর]
The Deshi Magur (Walking Catfish) is one of the most revered freshwater fishes in Bangladesh. Unlike the hybrid "African Magur," the Deshi Magur is native, smaller, and vastly superior in taste and nutrition. Our Cleaned version takes the difficulty out of preparing this slippery fish, leaving you with tender, nutritious portions ready for the pot.
