Share the love of food with our
high-quality dry fish!

Nagapattinam is more than just a coastal town. It's a bustling hub for the dry fish industry, a tradition deeply woven into the fabric of its economy and culture for centuries. Evidence suggests trade in dried fish existed during the Chola period, with Nagapattinam acting as a crucial port for exporting fish products across Southeast Asia. The Chola navy itself relied on dried fish as a portable, nourishing food source during their extensive voyages—a testament to the enduring value of this cherished tradition.

At Kadarkadai, we are proud to uphold the rich heritage of Nagapattinam's dry fish industry with unwavering dedication to quality and craftsmanship. We do more than sell dry fish; we deliver a taste of home, wherever you are. Our unique selection carries the flavors and traditions of coastal towns across India.

Throughout history, families in Nagapattinam have sent dried fish packages to loved ones living or traveling abroad, serving as a tangible reminder of home and cultural heritage. We recreate that same feeling of love and connection by delivering every delicious bite of our curated selection to families across the globe.

Like agriculture, we believe the dry fish industry deserves to flourish.  That's why we partner with local fishermen and women who use traditional, sustainable methods to source the freshest catch. We then carefully sun-dry and prepare each fish with meticulous attention to detail and a touch of love.
