Our story
Meenvashal started as a single fish stall by the harbour — today we bring fresh fish, prawns, crab, squid and dry fish straight from the boats to your door, sourced daily and never sitting in a warehouse.
Fresh catch, every single day
Why we started
Meenvashal began with a simple idea — that fresh fish shouldn't sit in cold storage for a week before it reaches your kitchen. What started as a single fish stall has grown into a complete seafood store, but the promise hasn't changed: we are at the harbour and the fish market every single morning, so what you order today was landed and cleaned today.
We now stock sea fish, river fish, prawns, crabs, squid and dry fish — all from fishermen and suppliers we know personally, most of them within a few hours of our store.
What we stock
Everything you need for a seafood meal — starting with what won't keep, and rounded out with dry fish and ready-to-cook masalas.
Seer fish, pomfret, sardine, mackerel and more — cleaned and cut to order, never frozen stock left sitting overnight.
Tiger prawns, white prawns and tiny shrimp, deveined and cleaned on request and iced from landing to doorstep.
Live-fresh blue swimmer crab, mud crab and squid, graded by hand and packed in ice the same morning.
Rohu, catla and tilapia from nearby farms, plus sun-dried fish and karuvadu for pantry-friendly seafood.
Our promise
Our fish, prawn and crab counters are restocked every morning — nothing is held over for the next day's sale.
Every catch is inspected on arrival for clear eyes, red gills, firm flesh and temperature before it's cleaned and packed.
Fish and seafood stay on ice and temperature-controlled from the boat to our cold room to your doorstep — no gaps in the chain.
We buy directly from fishermen and harbour auctions — cutting out layers of markup so freshness doesn't cost extra.
Our counter staff know regular customers by name — and how they like their fish cut and cleaned each week.
Order in the morning, and your fresh fish and seafood arrive the same day — not the next.
How it gets to you
Our buyers are at the harbour and the fish market before most kitchens wake up.
Every batch of fish, prawns and crabs is inspected for freshness before it's iced.
Fish is cleaned and cut only after your order comes in — never pre-packed and left waiting.
Iced cold-chain delivery gets it to your door within hours, still at peak freshness.
What customers say
The seer fish tasted like it was landed that morning — because it was. I stopped checking other stores after my first order.
The prawns taste exactly like what my grandmother used to bring from the harbour. You can tell they haven't travelled far.
The fish arrives cleaned, cut and properly iced with no smell at all. Ordering seafood online finally feels worth it.
Order today's fish, prawns and crabs — landed this morning, delivered today.
