Product Overview
In traditional Bengali and South Asian culinary heritage, small indigenous river fish (deshi mach) occupy an essential place of honor. Puti fish (Puntius species), with its silvery scales and sweet, rich flavor profile, is a beloved staple of rural homestyle cooking. Because of their small size, they are traditionally cleaned and cooked whole—either shallow-fried until the fins and edges turn crispy or simmered in a light, pungent tomato-and-mustard broth.
For the diaspora living in Japan, sourcing authentic, delicate small river fish that meet rigorous halal standards can often be an immense challenge. At Gunma Halal Food, we eliminate that burden by stocking professionally prepped, frozen small fish imported specifically to satisfy your cultural preferences. Whether you are preparing a crispy weekend fry-up or a comforting spiced gravy to serve over warm aromatic rice, this 300g pack guarantees convenience, high nutrition, and authentic taste.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I properly thaw and prep Puti fish?
Transfer the sealed 300g pack from your freezer to the refrigerator and allow it to thaw slowly overnight. Rinse the small fish gently under cold water, drain them well in a colander, and gently rub them with turmeric powder and salt prior to cooking.
What are the best ways to cook Fresh Puti fish?
Puti fish is traditionally prepared in two favorite ways. You can shallow-fry them in oil or ghee until golden and crunchy, making the small bones completely edible and crisp. Alternatively, you can lightly fry them first and then simmer them in a thin, spiced tomato-and-cumin curry (jhol).
Do I need to remove the bones from Puti fish?
Because Puti fish are small, they are traditionally consumed whole. When shallow-fried until crisp or simmered thoroughly, the fine bones soften and become easy to enjoy.
Is this product guaranteed halal for consumers in Japan?
Yes. Gunma Halal Food specializes in curating trusted imports tailored to the international Muslim community, ensuring complete confidence and strict halal compliance across our entire seafood inventory.
