Why Our Prices Are Lower Than Fish Markets

Traditional fish markets involve multiple handlers and high stall overheads. By sourcing directly from the coast and operating an efficient online model, Diorfreshfish reduces costs by 15–20%, passing those direct savings to you without compromising on the quality of the Yanam (ينم).

Is Yanam fish bony?

Yanam fish have a standard skeletal structure with a central spine and rib cage. While it has fewer “hidden” bones than species like Rohu, we recommend careful consumption for children. Our filleting service can remove the majority of large bones for you.

Where is your Yanam fish sourced from?

We source our Yanam primarily from the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. We prioritize wild-caught fish from FAO Area 51 to ensure the authentic local taste and nutritional profile the UAE market expects.

How long can I keep Fresh Yanam Fish in the fridge?

For the best experience, we recommend cooking the fish on the day of delivery. However, it can be safely stored in the coldest part of your refrigerator (0–2°C) for up to 48 hours. Always keep it in its original leak-proof packaging.

Do you deliver to Abu Dhabi and Sharjah?
