Cream dory (pangasius) is prized for its delicate, almost buttery flesh and neutral flavour that adapts to regional and international recipes  from light lemon-baked fillets to spiced Gulf-style pan grills. Our fresh fillets are trimmed to even thickness for predictable cooking and packed to retain moisture and tenderness, making them a favourite for quick family dinners and hotel/restaurant menus in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman. Sourcing focuses on responsibly managed freshwater suppliers in Southeast Asia with cold-chain handling from processing to dispatch; this preserves texture and nutrient profile while reducing waste. Since 2018 DIORfreshfish has built practical sourcing and handling systems — seven years of experience in selecting, inspecting and temperature-controlling seafood so your fillets arrive safe, consistent and ready to cook.

FAQs

Is fresh cream dory a healthy choice compared with other white fish?

Yes — cream dory provides lean protein with relatively low calories and saturated fat. While its omega-3 levels are lower than oily marine species, it remains a nutritious, versatile option for regular meals and for families seeking milder-flavoured fish.

Can I cook cream dory directly from chilled or frozen?

Chilled fillets cook best after a short rest at room temperature (10–15 minutes); frozen fillets can be cooked in an oven or air fryer with slightly longer times, but gentle thawing in the refrigerator overnight gives more even results and improved texture.

How does Diorfreshfish maintain product traceability?

Each batch is logged with supplier origin and processing date; cold-chain temperatures are recorded during handling. This lets us trace any quality concern back to source and respond quickly if customers report an issue.

What’s the best way to keep fillets moist when reheating or holding for service?

For reheating, cover fillets loosely with foil and warm in a low oven (120–140°C) for a short time to avoid drying. In catering, hold under a light sauce or steam table with gentle humidity to preserve tenderness without overcooking.
