Restaurants, caterers and busy families across East Delhi want fish that is already cleaned, cut and kept cold. The wholesale fish market at Ghazipur is inside the district, so you can buy fresh stock early each morning and deliver it the same day.

This unit buys fish at the wholesale market every morning, then scales, cleans and cuts it in a clean, cool room. The fish is packed by weight in trays or sealed bags, as curry cut, fry cut or boneless pieces, and kept on ice until it is delivered the same day.
Ghazipur, in East Delhi, has a large wholesale fish and poultry market, so fresh stock is a short drive away before dawn. The crowded neighbourhoods of Mayur Vihar, Preet Vihar and Laxmi Nagar, and the restaurants and caterers in their markets, are close by. Many people like fish but do not want the mess and smell of cleaning it at home.
You need a unit in a commercial area with drains and washable floors, steel tables, an ice machine, freezers, a weighing scale, an FSSAI food licence and a trade licence from the municipal corporation for selling fish. The hard parts: fish spoils within hours in Delhi's summer, so ice and quick delivery are everything; mandi prices change every day; and scales, guts and smell will upset neighbours unless the waste is picked up daily. Buying well at the mandi needs a sharp eye for freshness.
Start by supplying a few restaurants and caterers on fixed daily orders, then add home orders on WhatsApp with set delivery times.
