Desi Gutum Fish (Guntea Loach) – 1 Kg

Rediscover a traditional favorite with our premium Desi Gutum Fish. This small freshwater fish, also known as the Guntea Loach, is a delicacy in Bengali cuisine, especially prized for its unique taste and delightful, crispy texture when fried.

Our Desi Gutum Fish are the authentic “Desi” variety, sourced from natural habitats. Because they are small and often eaten whole, they are a fantastic natural source of calcium and other minerals.

We ensure you get the best quality by immediately cleaning and flash-freezing (IQF) the fish to lock in its fresh, natural flavor. Our Desi Gutum Fish is ready to cook, saving you time. It’s the perfect choice for a classic “Gutum Maach Bhaja” (crispy fry) or a light “Chorchori.”
