What Is Yellow Goatfish (Ikan Kuniran)?
Yellow Goatfish, whose primary scientific name is Upeneus sulphureus, is an abundant demersal fish species found in Indonesian tropical waters. This fish possesses physical characteristics highly valued by the industrial and catering sectors: its meat is clean white, virtually non-oily, and has a tender texture. Kuniran is a strategic choice as a raw material because of its competitive pricing while still delivering high-quality protein. This white meat characteristic is extremely crucial for Snack Factories processing it into crackers or fish balls, where the final product color must not be compromised by red meat pigments or excessive fat.
In the B2B supply chain context, CV Karunia Abadi Semesta supplies Yellow Goatfish processed rapidly through advanced freezing systems, available in both *Whole Round* and *Headless Gutted* (H&G) formats. The H&G processing is highly beneficial for large-scale Catering and Hospitals because it can significantly cut down kitchen preparation time, simultaneously reducing waste. We ensure every Kuniran we ship originates from fresh catch and is immediately frozen in *blast freezers* to maintain cellular integrity, guaranteeing the same quality upon arrival at the partner’s storage facility. This quality is an absolute prerequisite for our clients in the Hotel and Restaurant sectors who require premium raw material for their seafood dishes.
The strategic value of Yellow Goatfish also lies in its relevance for national programs such as MBG (Free Nutritious Meals) and as an ideal commodity for Export to Singapore and Malaysia. Kuniran offers a perfect balance between nutrition (high protein and low fat) and cost efficiency required for massive volume procurement. We understand that supply consistency is key to the success of our partners' operations. Therefore, our Kuniran supply is supported by an integrated fishing fleet, allowing us to promise scheduled and reliable FCL (Full Container Load) deliveries. Kuniran is one of the many Export Fish Types we handle. We ensure the highest hygiene standards are applied, adhering to HACCP principles, which is a necessity for Hospitals requiring the strictest food safety guarantees. With Kuniran, you gain affordable protein without compromising on quality.
As a leading supplier, we also offer Yellow Goatfish processed into skinless and boneless fillets. This derivative product is the top choice for Hotels aiming to minimize *labor costs* in the kitchen and focus on dish presentation. We recognize that the B2B market demands certainty, and with Yellow Goatfish, we provide certainty in quality and stable pricing. By choosing CV Karunia Abadi Semesta, you select a partner experienced in handling large tonnage volumes with an unbroken, guaranteed cold chain quality.

Benefits of Consuming Yellow Goatfish (Ikan Kuniran)
Yellow Goatfish offers several benefits that directly support the operational and nutritional goals of the various B2B sectors we serve:
- Dietary and Health Compliance (Hospitals): Kuniran’s *lean* white meat is very low in fat and easily digestible, making it a safe and ideal protein choice for inpatient diet menus, especially post-operative patients or those with cardiovascular restrictions.

- Smooth Export Logistics Support: Consistent Kuniran stock availability and compliance with international standard documentation guarantee that Export partners in Singapore and Malaysia can maintain their shipping schedules without delays due to stock shortages.
