Fish Delicacies From Mother’s Kitchen
Fish recipes that evoke nostalgia
Those of us who are non-vegetarian, we most likely love fish. Fish in its different preparations.
I have lived in the USA for 12 years. The fish I have tasted here are either trout, bass, whitefish, cod, salmon, or snapper. The fish preparation here is rather simple
People just dip the fillets in batter and deep-fry. Good but not delectable.
In India, we cook it differently, more elaborately.
Fish available in rural areas are often freshly caught. My parents have bought these two fresh fish from a local roaming vendor, right in our front porch.
I think they are rohu fish.
My mother scrubbed away the silvery scales, removed the innards, and chopped them into rings. She marinated the rings in oil, turmeric, chili, cumin, coriander, ginger, and garlic mix.
Then she heated mustard oil on a cast iron cauldron perched on wood fire stove, and deep-fried the rings.
Some of the fried pieces were served to relish as such.
