Sulthan (Kilimeen)

Threadfin fish, known for their delicate texture and mild flavor, belong to the Polynemidae family and are widely found in tropical and subtropical waters. They are easily recognizable by their elongated pectoral fins, which resemble threads and help them sense movements in the water. Threadfin species, such as Indian Threadfin (Polynemus indicus) and Fourfinger Threadfin (Eleutheronema tetradactylum), are popular in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines due to their tender, flaky white meat and rich nutritional profile.Threadfin is a great source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12, D, and selenium, making it beneficial for heart health, brain function, and immune support. It is also low in fat and mercury, making it a safe and healthy seafood option.
