If
one
is
fond
of
old
fashioned
deep
fried
battered
fish
that
is
a
specialty
of
Punjab
province
(Lahore,
Kasur,
Gujranwala,
Sialkot
areas)
than
Mukhtar
King
Fish
shop
located
in
the
old
Rail
Bazar
is
one
of
the
best
places
to
go.
One
can
find
variety
of
fish
there
but
their
top
offering
is
the
giant
snakehead
fish
(Channa
marulias)
that
is
locally
called
"Sowl".
Since
sowl
fish
can
only
be
caught
from
the
wild,
not
many
fish
shops
carry
sowl.
On
Mukhtar
King
Fish,
one
can
get
good
quality
sowl.
Regardless
to
say,
freshwater
giant
snakehead
of
Pakistan
is
amongst
the
tastiest
fish
in
the
world.
Other
than
sowl,
they
carry
Rohu
(a
carp),
Mushka
and
saltwater
Eel.
They
have
a
reasonable
sitting
place
but
please
do
not
expect
much.
Its
a
very
basic
arrangement
at
best.
Quality
of
service
is
very
good
and
rates
are
quite
reasonable.
Please
do
keep
in
mind
that
they
sell
by
weight.
There
is
no
dedicated
parking
though
one
can
easily
find
parking
in
nearby
vicinity.
A
must
visit
place
for
fish
lovers.
