Pacu
South American freshwater fish known as “vegetarian piranhas.”
BestCity’s Pacu are more than just a sustainable choice — they’re a testament to our belief in slow, ethical aquaculture.
Gently raised in well-oxygenated, naturally filtered ponds, our Pacu thrive on a predominantly plant-based diet rich in local greens and grains, mirroring their natural feeding habits.
Their calm nature and herbivorous diet mean they grow steadily and cleanly, without the off-flavors sometimes found in other freshwater species. We harvest our Pacu with care, using humane methods that ensure minimal stress and maximum quality — producing a mild, nutty-flavored fish that’s as kind to the planet as it is to your plate.
