Blow Fish Restaurant, Fish barbecue restaurant in Lahore Cantonment Tehsil, Pakistan.
Blow Fish Restaurant is a fish grilling spot in Lahore, Pakistan, specializing in Rahu and Tilapia prepared with traditional Pakistani marinades. Each fish is cooked fresh to order and served with side dishes such as vegetables and flatbread.
The restaurant was one of the first places in the Lahore Cantonment area to focus entirely on grilled fish. It has kept that focus since it opened and remains a dedicated spot for traditional fish grilling in that part of the city.
In Pakistan, grilled fish is often eaten at the table with flatbread, raw onions, and green chutney, and this place follows that tradition closely. Sharing dishes is the norm here, and the setting makes it easy to eat as a group.
Each dish is grilled to order, so expect to wait a while before the food arrives, and it is better to visit when you are not in a hurry. Coming earlier in the evening tends to mean shorter waits, especially on weekends when families often dine out.
Rahu is a carp-like fish native to rivers across South Asia and is rarely found on restaurant menus in most of Lahore. Making it a centerpiece of the menu sets this place apart from the many grilling spots that focus on meat.
