Fresh Silver Trevally (سيلفر تريفالي)

Product Identity & Origin

Silver Trevally, locally known as سيلفر تريفالي, is a coastal pelagic fish scientifically identified as Pseudocaranx dentex, belonging to the Carangidae family. It is commonly found in Indo-Pacific and Western Indian Ocean waters, including FAO 51 regions.

This fish thrives in warm offshore and nearshore waters, often caught in schools. It is highly valued for its firm white flesh, mild ocean flavour, and low oil content. The texture is slightly dense yet flaky when cooked, making it ideal for grilling, frying, or baking.

Appearance-wise, Silver Trevally has a sleek silver body with a slightly forked tail and bright, reflective scales. Fresh specimens have clear eyes, firm flesh, and bright red gills. It is widely used in UAE home cooking for fried whole fish, grilled seafood platters, and light curry dishes.

In UAE cuisine, it fits well into everyday family meals, especially grilled with Arabic spices or served with rice-based dishes like Machboos fish. Its moderate bone structure makes it manageable for families while still delivering rich seafood flavor.
