Description

Found in pristine river ecosystems like the Cauvery, Ganges, and Beas, Mahseer is a slow-growing, long-living species that has earned iconic status in both ecological and culinary circles. Anglers chase it for sport; chefs treasure it for taste.

Its flesh is dense yet tender, absorbing spices beautifully while holding its texture in curries or grills. Himachali households serve it with mustard oil and garam masala, while in Karnataka it’s gently cooked in pepper-coconut gravies.

As a river fish, its diet consists of insects, algae, and smaller fish, which imparts a clean, earthy flavor distinct from pond-grown varieties.

Rich in lean protein, vitamin B12, and heart-healthy oils, Mahseer is as wholesome as it is rare. Due to overfishing, it is now protected in many regions, making every bite a conscious indulgence.

Mahseer Gold is not just a fish — it’s a symbol of India’s wild rivers, culinary heritage, and biodiversity legacy.
