Kitchen Tips - While this is by no means a comprehensive list, we hope that these simple tips will help you maximise your enjoyment of our seafood.
- Storing - Must be stored in your fridge, best kept between 0°C and 5°C. Ideally always keep the bag sealed to minimize contact with air - using rubber bands helps when you've already opened the packet.
- Cooking - Seafood cooks quickly and fish is done once the flesh is opaque and separates easily with a fork. Prawns and lobster are done when the flesh becomes pearly and opaque.
- Raw Seafood - It's always best to cook food thoroughly to minimize the risk of food borne illness but if you choose to eat raw fish in dishes like sushi or sashimi, one rule of thumb is to eat fish that has been previously frozen. Some species of fish can contain parasites, and freezing will kill any parasites that may be present.
- Serving - Hot seafood is best when served immediately after cooking. Carrying picnic seafood in coolers, preferably cold packs or on ice is recommended best practice to follow. If the cooler can be stored in the shade with the lid closed, it helps keep the inner contents cooler longer. Cold seafood should be kept on ice and ideally served on platters kept in the refrigerator.

- Fresh FishReview by Sheetanshu
Fish was delivered on time, was fresh and clean. It is a different experience to have fresh fish. Only complain is that these days, it is very often out of stock. I had to order 2 quantities , but since it was out of stock, I had to reorder and hence pay the delivery fee twice. (Posted on 8/22/2019)Quality Price Value - Fresh fishReview by Supatra
Fresh and clean fish. Though it was mentioned "bengali cut", the pieces were not that well proportioned as bengali cut. The "peti" or belly portions were too small, otherwise good (Posted on 11/1/2018)Price Value Quality - Awesome customer care.!!Review by BM
I have ordered fish a few times in the past. The hassle free ordering process & on time delivery at the doorstep is a boon. What is amazing is the focus on customer satisfaction! Upon giving feedback for my last purchase related to the freshness of the fish, I received a call from one of the co-founders within 24 hrs....and he was generous enough to send a replacement.!! Great experience.. :-) (Posted on 7/17/2018)Price Value Quality - Good productReview by Madhurima
The quality has been top notch. The portions are good too, with half the head in each pack. One recommendation would be to make available pieces of larger Catla/Rou - say 5-10 kg fish at a different price range (Posted on 5/11/2018)Value Quality Price - Nicely cleaned fresh fishReview by Sheetanshu

Ordered one kg of this catla fish for a dinner party. Receipe was to deep fry in oil first and then prepare with musturd gravy. The freshness of fish on opening the packet post delivery was satisfying. It was cleaned and packed very well. Nothing required than a quick wash in running water. The quality and taste of fish was too good. Very satisfied with the delivery. Thank you Fishvish!!! (Posted on 3/30/2018)Price Value Quality
