Our Reef cod Whole Round (Brown spotted & Malabar Reef cod) (species not separately classified) — Reef Cod (brown-spotted and Malabar varieties), gutted whole round, prized for its firm white 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
This species is wild-caught along India’s extensive coastline by a combination of gill-net, hook-and-line, and bottom-trawl fleets, landed under the seasonal restrictions of the government’s annual monsoon fishing ban that protects breeding stock.

Harvesting & Quality Control
Fresh landings are iced at sea and moved to HACCP-certified processing units within hours, where the fish is gutted and dressed before IQF or block freezing to preserve quality. Our standard export presentation is Whole Round (WR); larger-sized fish are supplied Gilled & Gutted (GG), removing gills and viscera while keeping the fish whole.
