Best Peshawari Fried Fish in Edmonton

About Our Peshawari Fried Fish

The Peshawari style of preparing fish is a cherished tradition from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, where fresh river fish has been enjoyed for centuries. Our Peshawari Fried Fish honors this tradition by using only the freshest fish available, ensuring quality and flavor in every bite. We begin by cleaning and cutting the fish into portions, then marinating it in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, and a special blend of Peshawari spices. This marinade not only infuses the fish with flavor but also helps tenderize it and reduce any fishy odor.

After marinating, each piece is carefully coated in a seasoned gram flour (besan) batter that's been mixed with rice flour for extra crispiness, along with ajwain (carom seeds), red chili powder, and other aromatic spices. The fish is then deep-fried in hot oil until the coating turns a beautiful golden brown and becomes wonderfully crispy. The high heat seals in the moisture, ensuring the fish inside remains tender, flaky, and juicy. We serve our Peshawari Fried Fish hot and fresh with mint chutney, fresh lemon wedges, sliced onions, and naan. It's perfect as an appetizer to share or as a main course with rice or naan. The bold flavors and satisfying crunch make this dish a favorite among those who appreciate authentic Pakistani seafood preparations. Whether you're a seafood enthusiast or looking to try something different from our menu, the Peshawari Fried Fish offers a delicious taste of Pakistan's culinary heritage.
