Dried Milk Shark Fish (ഉണക്ക സ്രാവ് - Unakka Sraavu)

The Timeless Coastal Classic of Palakkad

Rediscover the rustic, bold flavors of Kerala’s coastline with our Authentic Dried Shark Fish (Unakka Sraavu). Renowned for its unique texture and deep, savory essence, Shark is perhaps the most iconic choice for traditional dried fish preparations. Hand-processed with the meticulous care that defines House of Palakkad, our Unakka Sraavu brings a robust, heritage-quality taste to your dining table.

Each piece is sourced from premium quality Shark, expertly filleted, and cured using time-honored techniques. The fish is salted and sun-dried until it reaches a firm, meaty consistency, locking in its distinctive maritime flavor. Whether it’s the star of a spicy Sraavu Meen Mulakittathu (Shark Curry) or shredded into a zesty Thorun with fresh coconut, our dried shark provides a satisfying, protein-rich bite that evokes memories of traditional Kerala kitchens.

Why It’s Special:

• Dense & Meaty Texture: Unlike smaller dried varieties, Shark offers a substantial, fleshy bite that holds its shape perfectly in curries and slow-cooked dishes.

• Bold Savory Punch: Unakka Sraavu is famous for its strong, characteristic aroma and deep salty-savory profile, making it a favorite for those who love intense flavors.

• Traditional Palakkad Curing: We follow a heritage salting process that ensures the fish is preserved naturally, maintaining its nutritional integrity and authentic taste.

• Pure & Unprocessed: Guaranteed free from chemical additives, artificial whitening agents, or synthetic preservatives—just the honest goodness of the sea.
