Our Frozen Tiger Tooth Croaker (Otolithes ruber) — the tiger-tooth croaker variety, whole-dressed and frozen, valued for its firmer flesh — is proudly sourced and processed under India’s MPEDA-regulated export framework. This product is engineered for consistent quality, full traceability, and culinary versatility, whether you are a retail distributor, a foodservice operator, or a specialty seafood importer.

Origin & Sustainable Fishing
Croaker is a wild-caught demersal fish landed along both of India’s coastlines by gill-net and bottom-trawl fleets. It is one of the most widely landed and consistently available whitefish species in the Indian catch, valued in both domestic and export markets.

Harvesting & Quality Control
Catch is iced immediately at sea and delivered to HACCP-certified processing units within hours of landing, where the fish is gutted and scaled, then IQF or block frozen. Our standard export presentation is Whole Round (WR); larger-sized fish are supplied Gilled & Gutted (GG) to extend shelf life while keeping the fish intact for the importer’s own cutting room.
