Question 1

Do you use any chemicals or preservatives to dry the fish?

Accepted Answer

No. All our karuvadu is dried using only sea salt and open sunlight — no chemical whiteners, no artificial preservatives, and no added colors. This is the same traditional method Rameshwaram fishing families have used for generations.

Question 2

Is your fish fresh, or frozen before drying?

Accepted Answer

Fresh, not frozen. We buy the day's catch directly from Rameshwaram fishermen and clean and sun-dry it while it's still fresh, rather than drying previously frozen stock.

Question 3

Where do you deliver, and how long does shipping take?

Accepted Answer

We deliver across India. Orders are typically processed within 24 hours of confirmation, and delivery generally takes 2–6 business days depending on your location. You'll receive tracking details by SMS/WhatsApp once your order ships.

Question 4

Is Cash on Delivery (COD) available?

Accepted Answer

Not currently — all orders are prepaid before shipping. This keeps our per-order cost lower (which we pass on as better pricing) and avoids the hygiene issues that come with returned, undelivered perishable food.

Question 5

What's the minimum order quantity?

Accepted Answer

500 grams per product, which is also our smallest available pack size. Buying 1 kg instead of two separate 500g packs usually works out cheaper per gram — check the "Buy More, Save More" pricing on each product page for the exact saving.

Question 6

How long does dry fish stay fresh?

Accepted Answer

Stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, it stays good for 4–6 months. Refrigerating it extends that further. Since there are no artificial preservatives, freshness depends on how it's stored after opening, not a printed expiry date.

Question 7

How should I store dry fish after opening the pack?

Accepted Answer

Transfer any unused portion into an airtight glass jar or a resealable zip-lock bag and keep it in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight and stove heat. Avoid storing it near onions or garlic, since dry fish easily picks up strong odours.

Question 8

What is your return or refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Since this is a perishable food product, we don't accept returns once it's delivered. If your order arrives damaged or you received the wrong item, contact us within 24 hours of delivery on WhatsApp or email with photos, and we'll arrange a replacement or refund.
