Tag: Singhara fish

According to the Indian Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture, a 100-gram serving of singhi (a type of Indian catfish often associated with singhara) contains 16.12 grams of protein. This means that singhara fish, a popular freshwater catfish, is a potent source of lean protein that can be a valuable addition to your diet.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), catfish—which includes the species commonly known as singhara—contains very low levels of mercury, making it a safe option for regular consumption. These low levels are primarily due to its position as a non-predatory, freshwater fish, distinguishing it from high-mercury ocean predators.
