The Catch of The Day Story

Aren’t we all excited to see a good price on our favourite fish or seafood!

Licious calls it the Catch of the Day-certain kinds of fishes that are offered at a very competitive price every now and then.  

The Catch of the Day is one of our most unique offerings.

In case you haven’t noticed, the three key attributes of the COTD offer are:

1)The species of fish put up for sale varies (as suggested by the theme of Catch of the Day!)

2)The day of the offer is not fixed

3)These are guaranteed best prices at unheard of discount percentages

Let’s take a moment to look at the backstory. The three protagonists in the Catch of the Day (COTD) triangle are Licious, Licious partner fishermen and you, dear fish lover!

 A fisherman’s livelihood is dependent on the demand-supply dynamics of the fishing industry. It is steeped in uncertainty. If a fisherman’s day’s catch is in line with buyers’ projections/expectations he makes decent money. But on days it isn’t, he incurs cold storage costs. And might resort to desperate measures such as adding Formalin, to preserve the catch for longer. This has come to the fore only recently with State Govt. authorities raising an alarm for Formalin content in fish. But worry not, dear consumer, for Licious adopts the highest standards of food safety. Licious has procured test kits directly from the CIFT (Central Institute of Fisheries Technologies, Kochi) to ensure safe fish supplies; these kits are yet to be made commercially available.

 Licious plays a critical role in bridging this demand-supply gap for fishermen. We connect directly with fishermen. The fishermen can reach out to us always; so, if there’s excessive stock on a given day, Licious can easily buy it. This is a Win-Win situation for both the fishermen and Licious. Cutting off middlemen means there’s a price advantage for us. And the cost of cold storage for the fishermen is avoided. The question of adding preservatives does not arise.

 It doesn’t end there. It’s a Win-Win-Win situation! Because all our efforts are centred around you, our dear patrons! So true to promise, Licious passes on the discount percentage to you. Plus, you get to relish the freshest catch just off the hook. Never frozen. With zero Formalin residues.

 So, whenever you get a chance to indulge in our Catch of The Day, do remember you too, are contributing to the greater good that lies in the core of it.

    Aboslutely brilliant. It is great to to know you have the fomalin testing kits to check the quality. Consuming formalin added fish leads to deadly diseases and adequate measures to be takes to prevent it.

    Appreciate your measures to stop food adultration, which just a huge threat to health. We can see the fish bought from licious doesn’t have the chemical, however, sometimes getting decayed due to lack of preservatives. In such cases, licious had refunded when reported. Thanks for taking the extra care.

  2. Not able to find another thread. So my query may be off-topic. Just want to know the shelf-life of marinades like chicken pickle or chicken spread. A longer shelf life require preservatives and acidity regulator. I want to avoid such additives but yet feel tempted to try those!

  8. I am looking for Murrell streaks which are available at your end but your catch seems to be small fish and therefore the streaks are very small in size and throny…I would prefer a fish of 1.5 kgs size for myself. I bought a couple of times but due to this issue, I have stopped. It will be nice if you can source bigger size Murrell going forward

    • Joysree Mitra

      Dear Pavan,

      We realise your concern regarding the size of the ” Murrel Steaks ” that we offer to our customers. Currently, the gross weight of the product we procure is 666gms. However, we would certainly share your feedback with our team who would see if a larger size of this fish can be procured in the future and the specifications can be amended in the website.

  10. Hi,
    Not able to find any link for enquiry so ending up asking here. Wanted to know are all the poultry n meat product halal cut, being a Muslim it’s important for me to be clear of what I’m procuring.
    TIA.

  11. महमूद

    यह चिकन और मटन हलाल नही हो सकता है।क्योकि FSSAI का मतलब हलाल नही होता है। हॉ सरकारी कानूनी तरह साफ और सेफ हो सकता है।पर हलाल नही में एक मुस्लिम होने के नाते कहूँगा कि Muslims ना खरीदें और ना ही खाये
    धन्यवाद
