Rohu
(Rui, Ruhi, Roho labeo, रोहू)
Rohu (lat. Labeo rohita) is a species of freshwater fish of the carp family native to South East Asia that populates the rivers of India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nepal. It has a streamlined body with a slightly arched head and a small mouth.
The color is a bright silver with a bluish-green tint with a distinctive black patch on its tail fin. Mature rohu fish can grow up to 2 meters (6.4 ft) in length and weigh up to 20 kilograms (44 lbs), although most commonly, they average around 0.5 meters (1.6 ft).
Rohu is popular due to its tender flesh and mild, sweet taste. It is highly prized in South Asian cuisine and is often used in a variety of dishes, such as curries, fries, and grills. It is also valued for its nutritional value, being a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
