Fresh Bhetki, also known as Barramundi, is valued for its smooth flavour, soft flake, and versatile texture that suits both simple home cooking and refined dishes. The flesh is naturally mild, allowing spices, herbs, and marinades to shine without overpowering the flavour of the fish. This makes it a favourite choice in UAE households for light curries, shallow frying, grilling, and steamed preparations.

DIORfreshfish selects Bhetki based on size consistency, flesh firmness, and natural colour to ensure reliable cooking results every time. With 7 years of hands-on experience since 2018, we serve Bhetki fully fresh, not compromised by long storage or fluctuating temperatures. Each fish is hygienically processed, carefully inspected, and stored under strict cold conditions to ensure its taste, texture, and nutritional value remain intact until it reaches your kitchen.

Nutritionally, Bhetki offers high-quality protein, essential minerals, and beneficial fats while remaining light and easy to digest, making it suitable for families, health-conscious individuals, and professional kitchens alike.
