We are from near Thondi, a coastal town in Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu. Our district is often considered industrially backward, with very few major industries and being drought-prone due to the lack of rivers and rainfall.
But we are blessed with one of the greatest natural resources – our sea. India has a coastline of about 7,500 kms, of which Tamil Nadu contributes around 1,076 kms, making up nearly 15% of the country’s total. Out of this, Ramanathapuram district alone has 237 kms of coastal stretch, the longest in Tamil Nadu, and Thondi lies right at the heart of it.
The waters of the Gulf of Mannar, where Ramanathapuram is located, are known for their rich marine ecosystem. This region is blessed with exceptional biodiversity, offering a wide variety of fish that are prized for their unique taste and nutritional value. Along with this, the favorable water conditions of the Gulf create an ideal environment for different fish species to grow and thrive, making this region one of the most important fishing grounds in South India.
The coastal villages near Thondi are well known for their traditional dried fish preparation, carried forward for generations by the local fishing community. This natural and authentic method not only preserves the fish but also enhances its flavor, making it a true delicacy of the region.
At Karuvattu Kadal Team, we have designed a business model that takes this traditional wisdom to the next level. We are committed to delivering high-quality, hygienically packed, and naturally sun-dried fish to households across India. We are trying to provide No.1 Export Quality products to our customers, ensuring they get the best of our coastlines.
Today, we proudly sell our products through Amazon, Flipkart, and our own dedicated website, ensuring that the authentic taste of Ramanathapuram’s dried fish reaches every kitchen.
Team,
