Pomfret (avoli)

Pomfret is a highly valued saltwater fish known for its mild, delicate flavor and tender, flaky texture. Belonging to the Bramidae and Stromateidae families, pomfrets are found in tropical and subtropical waters, particularly in the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans. They have a flat, oval-shaped body with a silvery sheen, making them easily recognizable. The most popular varieties include Silver Pomfret, Black Pomfret, and Chinese Pomfret, each varying slightly in taste and texture.
