Linna

Linna — dried scad — offers more bite than the smaller karawala varieties. Its firm, meaty flesh holds together in curries and delivers a deep, savory flavor that intensifies beautifully against chili, onion and goraka.

Caught in Sri Lankan waters and dried the traditional way — salted, laid out under the tropical sun and turned by hand — our linna keeps its natural oils and golden color without artificial preservatives.

Shipped in sealed 200 g export packs, with bulk options for restaurants and grocery importers.
