More Than a Butchery: Talking About Pronto Meats Fresh Fish Selection

There are days when you want a hearty beef stew or a sizzling steak from the braai. 

But then there are other days when your taste buds crave something different—something lighter, fresher, and quicker to prepare. 

It’s for those days that we at Pronto Meats decided to become more than just a place for red meat.

We listened to our community in Zengeza, Seke, and Chitungwiza. You told us you wanted a trusted, local spot where you could find high-quality, fresh fish with the same confidence you have when buying our beef. And so, we embraced the challenge.

Our Promise: If It's Not "Machikichori" Quality, We Don't Sell It

We knew that if we were going to offer fish, it had to meet our legendary "Machikichori" standard of meat. This meant applying the same rigorous principles of quality and freshness to our seafood counter as we do to our butchery.

What does quality look like in fish?

• It's All in the Eyes: Fresh fish should have clear, bright eyes, never cloudy or sunken.
• The Fresh Scent: It should smell clean and fresh like the water it came from, never overly "fishy".
• Firm to the Touch: The flesh should be firm and spring back when pressed gently.

By adhering to these simple but crucial checks, we ensure that the fish you take home is of a standard worthy of the Pronto Meats name. We want you to feel excited when you taste the "Machikichori" difference, whether it's our beef or our bream.

Our Star of the Water: Fresh Bream

Our primary offering is fresh Bream, a beloved fish across Zimbabwe known for its delicate, slightly sweet flavour and tender white flesh. It's incredibly versatile and wonderfully simple to cook.

Imagine a whole bream, seasoned with salt, pepper, and lemon, fried in a hot pan until the skin is irresistibly crispy. Served with sadza and fresh greens, it’s a perfect meal. This simplicity is often the secret to delicious meals—letting a high-quality ingredient shine.

A Total Commitment to Quality, Across the Board

Our passion for excellence doesn’t stop at the fish counter. This dedication is why we are known as one of the best butcheries in Chitungwiza and Zengeza. It’s the reason our butchers are experts in their craft, taking the time for things like knowing beef meat quality and grades.
