Fish is consumed as food in almost every region of the world. Not only fish is an important protein source for humans but the oil contained in the body cells of the fishes are specially beneficial for our heart health.
In India alone, several regions have their own recipe for cooking fish. Fish is prepared in a variety of ways. Say for example, in Eastern India, fish cooked in mustard paste is very popular, whereas in Western India, fish curry with coconut and kokum is more prevalent, again South India is proud of their fish curry cooked in tamarind paste. Each recipe has their own distinct flavour and taste.
