Rohu (Per Fish)

Buy Rohu Fish Online in Melbourne

Rohu is a staple of home cooking across Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and a favourite for anyone who loves authentic South Asian flavours. At Eastern Halal Butcher, we stock whole Rohu imported from Bangladesh and frozen to preserve its quality, so you can enjoy the taste of home right here in Melbourne.

Mild, Sweet and Versatile

Rohu has a mild, slightly sweet flavour and tender yet firm flesh. It holds its shape in slow-simmered gravies and develops a golden, crispy crust when fried, which is why it has been a centrepiece of family meals and celebrations for generations.

Choose Your Size

Each Rohu is sold per fish, in two sizes:

• 2.5–2.8kg per fish: a generous size for family dinners and weekly meal prep
• 4.2–4.6kg per fish: ideal for festive cooking, large gatherings and batch preparation

Cut to Order on Request

To save time in the kitchen, just leave a note with your order and we’ll cut your Rohu into pieces ready for curry or frying.

Perfect For

• Classic Bengali fish curries such as macher jhol and kalia
• Turmeric and chilli-spiced fried fish pieces
• Mustard, tamarind or coconut-based gravies
• Whole fish grilled or baked with spices

Thawing and Storage Tips

Keep your Rohu frozen until you’re ready to use it. For the best texture, thaw it slowly in the fridge overnight rather than at room temperature. Once thawed, cook within a day, and avoid refreezing.
