Fishing holds significant cultural importance in Pakistan\“s coastal regions, particularly in Sindh and Balochistan. The art of fish filleting using specialized knives has been passed down through generations, with local fishermen developing unique techniques adapted to regional fish species.
Traditional Pakistani fishing communities prefer curved fillet knives with flexible blades, allowing for precise cuts when preparing popular local catches like pomfret, sardines, and shrimp. The craftsmanship of these knives often reflects local artistic traditions, with some featuring hand-carved wooden handles decorated with regional patterns.
In Karachi\“s fish markets and Gwadar\“s coastal villages, the skill of using fillet knives is considered an essential part of maritime heritage. Elder fishermen teach younger generations not only the cutting techniques but also the cultural significance of proper fish preparation in Pakistani coastal cuisine and trade. |
