As of today, the price for cut chicken per Kilogram ranges from anywhere Rs. 515 to Rs. 600. Whereas, Fish is still at the rate of Rs. 400 per Kg. Fish is a good alternate for chicken as it falls in white meat category. If we had to personally kill the animals that we consume as food, we would likely not eat as much meat as we do in our current society. The meat industry has made it easy for us to detach ourselves from the fact that we are eating the flesh of a once-living creature, allowing us to treat it as just another commodity to be ordered at a restaurant or purchased at a store. This disregard for the life of the animal and the excess consumption of its meat is wasteful and harmful to both ourselves and the environment.
GUIDES [Things You Need To Know About Fishing]
If we were more connected to the process of obtaining the meat we eat, as our ancestors were, we might choose to eat a diet more in line with what is natural for humans. As a Pisces, you may enjoy eating fish, which is a source of omega-3 fatty acids that can help lower cholesterol and improve heart health. It’s worth noting that fish is a relatively quick-cooking protein and is easy to digest, with the stomach typically taking only 45 minutes to an hour to fully process it.

Places to visit if you love fish
I have a friend named Assad who works as a caretaker at the second-largest fish aquarium in the world, located in Oman. The largest one in Germany has recently exploded taking away its title. Now undisputedly, Oman’s is the largest. The Jellyfish Cave in Phuket is a really impressive place to visit. I’ve also had the opportunity to try authentic sushi at a top sushi restaurant in Tokyo, Japan. It’s worth noting that when it comes to sushi, it’s important to be cautious and make sure it is prepared and served safely.
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 foil paper in Garden Town.
- I love “Basheer” in the Moon market per se.
- I lived for four years getting my bachelor’s degree near Tarbela dam. I like my steelhead trout fillets more.
- I love English Tea house for its battered prawns. Four big lumps for Rs. 1065 exclusive of tax. Recently, also enjoyed with same experience at J-Block, Defence Club.
- Similarly, low on budget, Gourmet’s fare equally well. They come 10 small pieces for under Rs. 900 including taxes.
- In early childhood, I 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 fond memories of going fishing with my father at Chakbeli Khan, where I developed a love for red snapper fish. I have a junior family member who runs a farm-based fishing business and exports frozen catfish fillets and mahi mahi fillets. He has been extremely successful, expanding his farm from 5 acres to 32 acres in just two seasons. To give you an idea of the scale of his operation, he sends 2 metric tons of fish to the Gujranwala market every day from his Jaranwala farms, according to market demand.

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.
In the end, I leave you with a question: what is the national fish of Pakistan? right answers in the comment box.
