Small, disc shaped Pony Fish Mulan is known for its fine bones and is especially suited to shallow frying, where the small bones can become crisp. Fresh Fish Dubai sources this marine ponyfish as fresh seafood, with the exact catch origin confirmed according to the day's landed stock. Each fish is hand picked for sound body condition, then washed, cleaned or left whole according to your selected preparation and weighed after preparation where applicable. Available in whole and whole cleaned options, with size and final weight varying by catch, your order is kept chilled at 0 to 4°C and packed for refrigerated delivery across Dubai. Packaging is selected to protect the small fish from crushing during transport while preserving its texture.

The scientific identification above follows a reference that lists Leiognathus equulus as Common Ponyfish and Mullan, with marine and brackish habitat and a maximum recorded size of about 28 cm.
Pony Fish Mulan has a compact, disc shaped body and fine bones, so size consistency matters more for frying than simply choosing the largest fish. Fresh Fish Dubai should select intact specimens without excessive bruising, then keep them continuously refrigerated between 0 and 4°C until your chosen preparation is completed.
The product is supplied live or fresh only according to the stated preparation promise. It is never pre cooked or pre packed.
• Picked for frying: The small body size and fine bone structure make selection by size particularly useful when you plan to shallow fry the fish.
• Prepared after your order: You choose whole or whole cleaned preparation rather than receiving a generic pre cut pack.
• Chilled for the journey: Pony Fish Mulan stays at 0 to 4°C through storage and delivery, helping protect its compact flesh and surface condition.
Fresh Fish Dubai has served customers since 2020.
Shallow frying: Heat oil and fry cleaned fish for about 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on size, until crisp and fully cooked.
Pan frying: Cook over medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes per side with spices, lemon and a small amount of oil.
Fish curry: Simmer cleaned fish gently in the prepared curry for about 10 to 15 minutes. Avoid excessive stirring because the small fish can break apart.
