It is 2023 now, travel & tourism in Pakistan are open back again and, to enjoy we have many exciting arrangements for you (the visitor). Pakistan is a land of plenty in all four seasons, mountains, lakes, rivers, agriculture, etc. Here as part of the travel & tourism focus we have this blog on fishing and fresh fish eateries/visit spots in Punjab, Pakistan. Going to the rivers and canals of northern Punjab, we start travel along river Chenab, and a couple of famous spots near Lahore (LHE Allama Iqbal Airport) are Head Marala (2.5hr drive north of Lahore) and Wazirabad (2hr drive north-west of Lahore). Another spot driving down south-west of Lahore, near Jhang city, is Trimmu barrage headworks on Chenab, as a great spot. In addition to these headwork locations, there are tributaries and a huge network of irrigation (of agricultural lands) canals which contain an abundance of fish as well. Instead of farmed fish, these canals provide an environment for naturally grown fish. Types of freshwater fish available at such spots include famous Rahu or Rohu https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohu best cooked spicy fried aka famous Lahore style fried fish, Mahseer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahseer for bbq and frying, Mulee https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullet_(fish), Khagga/Singhara https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperata_seenghala, Thaila https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catla, Gulfam https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_carp , etc. In addition to Wikipedia, another comprehensive source of Pak fisheries is https://forestrypedia.com/types-of-fish-found-in-pakistan/ there are restaurants around these spots that will prepare fresh fish from the river per your taste. This is just a brief glimpse of things happening and available in Pakistan.
