Katta
Katta — dried talang queenfish — sits at the top of the karawala hierarchy. A large, fast ocean fish, its thick white flesh cures into dense, flavorful pieces that Sri Lankans reserve for special curries and festive tables.
Each fish is filleted, salted with a measured hand and sun-dried in thick cuts that stay tender inside. Good katta is judged by its pale interior, its clean aroma and how little salt it needs — ours is cured to be flavorful, not harsh.
Exported in 200 g retail packs and bulk cartons. Katta is consistently our most requested dried fish among the Sri Lankan diaspora.
