Import Cuttle Fish — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Pakistan

Silver Seafood supplies cuttlefish in whole, fillet and whole-clean forms, processed and frozen for export from Pakistan. The product is sourced from coastal waters off Karachi, cleaned and packed under controlled conditions to preserve texture and flavour. Available variants include whole cuttlefish with ink sac intact, fillets with skin on or off, and fully cleaned whole specimens with head and tentacles removed.

Cuttlefish from this region are typically Sepia pharaonis or Sepia officinalis species, known for their tender meat and high ink yield. Standard industry grades for frozen cuttlefish include sizes ranging from 100 to 500 grams per piece, with moisture content typically below 80% to prevent freezer burn. The flesh is firm and white when raw, turning opaque when cooked, with a mild, slightly sweet flavour profile that absorbs marinades well.

Whole cuttlefish is primarily used in Mediterranean, East Asian and South Asian cuisines for dishes like paella, risotto, stir-fries and curries. Food manufacturers source it for surimi production, while restaurants value its versatility for grilling, stuffing or braising. Buyers should confirm packaging type (bulk cartons or vacuum-sealed), net weight per carton and freezing method (IQF or block frozen) as these affect shelf life and thawing efficiency.

The company positions itself as a processor and exporter of fresh, frozen, live and salted seafood products, with cuttlefish as a core offering. Its organic supplier tier indicates a focus on natural or minimally processed seafood, though no specific certifications are stated in the listing.

The supplier’s harbor trust tier reflects verified port access or proximity to fishing grounds, which can reduce lead times for fresh or frozen shipments. However, the response rate and average response hours are currently unrecorded, so buyers should expect to initiate contact directly via the provided address. No additional details on factory capacity, export volume or client base are provided, so due diligence on production scale and compliance is advised.
