Local Catla fish. This fish is brought to the Siliguri market live and delivered on the same day. Popular for its freshness.
The live Catla is the freshest fish you can expect to taste. It is so fresh that some people prefer to cook it one day after procuring it, suggesting that it enhances the taste.
The fish is produced by fishermen through aquaculture in the ponds of North Bengal. The fish is brought to the Siliguri market overnight in vehicles and reaches our central facility in the morning. We cut and clean the fish and deliver it to the customer on the same day. There is no storage for this fish.
The final price varies according to the actual fish size delivered to you. If you pay in advance at the time of order, we will refund/collect the differential amount at the time of delivery if any.
Delivering live fish in real-time brings its own challenges. The rules for buying live Catla are slightly different from other fishes. Please go through the following rules carefully before ordering.
1. You cannot buy part of a fish, you will get the whole fish cut into pieces including the head and tail.
2. Live fish cannot be delivered on those days when the wholesale fish market is closed in Siliguri such as Sundays or other major holidays.
3. Unlike most of our other products, we do not accept a return of this fish.
4. We receive the fish alive, but when we deliver it to you, it is cut into pieces and hence no longer alive. So there is no way you can tell unless of course you taste it and see the difference.
