Fresh Bangladeshi Poa Fish 1kg 2-4pcs (±30g) ポア・フィッシュ
Distributed nationwide by Gunma Halal Food, this 1kg pack contains 2 to 4 large, hand-selected whole Poa fish (Croaker)—carefully cleaned, flash-frozen, and vacuum-sealed to preserve natural riverine/estuarine freshness and optimal texture for rich curries, mustard gravies, and crispy pan-fries.
Product Overview
Fresh Bangladeshi Poa Fish (ポア・フィッシュ / Poa Mach / Yellow Croaker) is one of the most cherished medium-to-large fish species in Bangladeshi and South Asian culinary culture. Renowned for its soft, delicate white flesh, low bone-to-meat ratio, and mild savory taste, Poa fish easily absorbs aromatic spices without overwhelming subtle dish flavors. It is traditionally prepared as a rich onion-tomato curry (Poa Macher Jhal), cooked in sharp mustard gravy (Shorshe Poa), or shallow-fried whole until crisp on the outside and moist inside.
Because these large-sized pieces (2 to 4 whole fish per 1kg pack) offer generous meaty fillets, they make an ideal centerpiece for family weekend dinners, festive gatherings, and authentic Bengali feasts.
Finding 100% Halal-compliant, premium imported whole fish varieties like Bangladeshi Poa in standard local Japanese supermarkets is virtually impossible. Gunma Halal Food supplies Fresh Bangladeshi Poa Fish 1kg 2-4pcs (±30g) with fast nationwide delivery across all 47 prefectures in Japan under strict frozen cold-chain shipping.
