Feseekh: Fermented Mullet, Filleted & Ready

Feseekh Fillet in Oil

Traditional salt-fermented grey mullet, expertly cured, then cleaned, boneless, and finished in oil for balanced flavor and convenience. Expect a rich, tangy, umami-forward bite without the hassle of home cleaning.

• Taste: Intense, savory, tangy with a mellow finish from the oil.
• Texture: Firm yet tender fillet slices.

Renga: Smoked Herring, Two Ways

Smoked Herring Fillet (Renga)

Premium smoked herring fillets, cleaned and ready to plate. A true crowd-pleaser that delivers deep smoke and sea-salt character.

• Taste: Clean smoke, balanced salinity, lightly briny.
• Texture: Meaty, sliceable fillets.
• Serve it: Slice and dress with lemon, olive oil, and scallions; or chop into a classic renga salad with diced tomatoes.

Renga Chunks with Tahini – Ready to Eat

The Egyptian staple, prepped for you: tender smoked herring chunks folded into creamy tahini and seasonings. Open, spoon, serve—zero prep.

• Taste: Smoky-sesame harmony with a savory finish.
• Texture: Chunky yet spreadable.
• Serve it: As a dip with crackers, next to boiled potatoes & eggs, or spread on warm flatbread.

Batarekh: Egyptian “Gold” (Cured Roe)

Herring Roe Fingers (Batarekh) – in Oil

Delicately salted, cured mullet roe (batarekh) preserved in premium oil. Rich, oceanic umami perfect for canapés or gourmet upgrades.

• Taste: Deep, briny umami with buttery richness.
• Texture: Tender, sliceable or finely chop-able.
• Serve it: On toast with butter and lemon; chopped into warm pasta with garlic & olive oil; or as a luxe appetizer straight from the jar.

Bonus Pick: Silky Smoked Salmon

Norwegian Smoked Salmon Slices

Thin-sliced, delicately smoked Norwegian salmon that balances the bolder Fasakhany flavors—ideal for mixed platters or a refined breakfast.

How to Build a Perfect Fasakhany Platter

• Add contrast: Fresh lemon wedges, sliced green onions, cucumber & tomato, pickled veggies.
• Round it out: Warm baladi bread or crackers, boiled eggs, and a simple tahini-lemon dip.
