Places to visit if you love fish

I have a friend Assad from Oman who caretakes the world’s second-largest Fish aquarium. Jelly Fish cave Phuket is one hell of a place to visit. I know how authentic Sushi tastes like because I ate it at the best Sushi parlor in Tokoyo Japan. However, Folks be very very careful with your sushi!

Places where I like to eat fish:

• One of my neighbors is the owner of a “Sardar Dar ul Mahi” franchise of Fish in Askari XI. I like their “Rahu” and “Balm”.
• I love the “khadda fish” served in a foil paper in Garden Town.
• I love “Basheer” in the Moon market per se.
• I lived four years getting my bachelor’s degree near Tarbela dam. I like my steelhead trout fillets more.
• I love English Tea house for their battered prawns. Four big lumps for Rs. 1065 exclusive of tax.
• Similarly, low on budget, Gourmet’s fare equally well. They come 10 small pieces for under Rs. 900 including taxes.
• In early childhood, I have paid several visits to Head Marala. I found my love for Chainja Fish.
• In Sindh Pakistan, the mangrove forest help catches fresh trout in the flowing Indus water. That is why in Karachi you will find: Black Pomfret Fish at Culture Fish (Hassan Square), Fish at Yadgar Fish (Jamshaid Road) & Prawns: Rashid SeaFood (Kemari).

My experience of fishing

I have been to fishing several times with my father to Chakbeli Khan. I found love for Red Snapper fish. I have a junior who does a farm fishing business and exports cat fish fillet and mahi mahi fillets frozen. He can be contacted as he expanded starting from 5 acres farm into a 32 acres farm within a span of two seasons. Just to give you an idea of the scale of his success: He sends the fish to Gujranwala market as per market demand (2 metric tonnes per ride) from his Jaranwala farms each day.

We became the top predators long ago and our ancestors loved to eat their own kill. Killing is now an occupation like so many others. I have witnessed people fishing catfish fresh and sea bass fresh at Rawal lake. Not to mention, the hard work that goes into hunting. Come people, let’s sharpen our spears and knives and arrows. Remember like how to play go fish. Let’s go a-hunting! May your hunts find you what you need, and your gratitude for the bounty be accepted.
