Sargodha: The fish business is flourishing in Sargodha city as the weather turns chilly.

Stalls selling various varieties of fish, including Rahu, Mahasher, and Silver, can be seen along roads in the 85 Jhal area, including the Muslim Market, Shaheen Chowk, Liaquat Market, Lahore Road, Katchehri Chowk, Queen Chowk, and Jhang Road. Fried fish is available at these stalls for Rs 850 to Rs 2000 per kg.

It is to mention here that Sargodha city is situated between the Jehlum and Chenab rivers, and fishermen bring fish from these rivers to sell in the city.

A fried fish seller at Jhang Road said, “I have been doing this business for the past 23 years at Main Market and Liaquat Market, and we gained a lot during chilly weather as the fish is a favourable dish of the season.”

Dr Waqas Naeem, a medical practitioner, said that fish is a necessary food item for health. “People of all ages should eat fish in the winter season to keep themselves warm,” he suggested.
