Garfish is a slender surface dwelling marine fish recognised by its narrow body, long pointed jaws and silvery appearance. Its flesh is light and tender, while the bones can have a distinctive greenish colour. That colour is a natural characteristic of the fish and does not by itself indicate spoilage.
The commonly recognised species is Belone belone, a member of the Belonidae family found across parts of the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean region.
Garfish has a narrow body and noticeable bones, so preparation matters more than it does for many thicker fish. Fresh Fish Dubai selects available fish individually, then cleans and cuts orders according to the option chosen at checkout.
The fish is kept continuously refrigerated between 0 and 4°C. This is particularly important for maintaining the texture of Garfish because its flesh is tender and benefits from careful temperature control from storage through delivery.
Fresh Fish Dubai has served customers since 2020. The company offers live and fresh seafood only, with Garfish hand picked, cleaned and cut to order.
Heat a pan over medium heat and cook cleaned Garfish for about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Season with lemon, garlic, black pepper and a little turmeric.
Heat the oven to 200°C. Season the fish with olive oil, lemon, garlic and coriander, then bake for around 15 to 18 minutes, depending on size.
Heat the grill to about 200°C and cook for approximately 4 to 6 minutes per side. Lemon, coriander, garlic and mild chilli work well with its clean flavour.

Fresh To Home also lists Garfish as a marine fish and offers a curry cut option, while its current product catalogue demonstrates the value of specifying preparation and size clearly. Carrefour UAE similarly displays weight and approximate piece information on fish listings, which supports using a clearer variant and size presentation on this page.
