Being a Mumbai-oriented girl living in Delhi with my family, food has always been an emotional connection to home for me. Anyone who has grown up in Mumbai knows that food there has a different soul—especially seafood. From bangda (mackerel) to surmai (king fish), Mumbai-style fish dishes are not just meals, they are memories. Even after shifting to Delhi, my craving for Mumbai-style seafood never really went away.
Although you may find fish in restaurants in Delhi, but it never really the same. First of all, I am more of a homemade food person. Cooking at home gives me comfort, freshness, and fulfillment.; secondly, seafood in restaurants is somewhat costly. Though finding fresh seawater fish in Delhi has always been difficult, my family and I often crave Mumbai-style fish meals. Local markets rarely offer the kind of fish we are used to back home, and even when they do, the freshness is questionable.
That’s when I began looking for a reliable way to get fresh fish delivered at home. During this search, I came across the Licious app, and honestly, it felt like I had finally found what I was looking for.
Licious is an online platform where you can purchase raw fish, chicken, and meat. What impressed me the most was the variety they offer. From freshwater to seawater fish, the options are extensive. For someone like me who specifically craves Mumbai-style seafood, this was a big relief. After browsing the app, I decided to order seawater bangda (mackerel), which is one of my absolute favorites.
I placed an order for 500 grams of bangda, and I was happy to see that the price was very reasonable compared to restaurant prices. The ordering process on the app was smooth and user-friendly. Everything—from selecting the product to making the payment—was quick and hassle-free.
When the order arrived, I was genuinely impressed with the packaging. The fish was packed very well, properly sealed, and hygienic. As soon as I opened the pack, I could tell that the fish was fresh. There was no strong or unpleasant smell, which is usually the biggest concern when ordering seafood online. The fish looked clean, well-cut, and ready to be cooked.
That same day, we cooked the bangda at home in proper Mumbai style. The taste, texture, and freshness were exactly what we had been missing in Delhi. The fish cooked beautifully, and the flavor instantly reminded me of home. My family loved it, and for the first time in a long while, our craving for Mumbai-style seafood was truly satisfied.
Overall, my experience with the Licious app has been extremely positive. From product variety and pricing to packaging and freshness, everything met my expectations. It solved a real problem for me—getting fresh Mumbai-style fish in Delhi—and did it effortlessly.
Thank you, Licious, for making that possible.
