This fish is also called Bombay Duck Fish in english.Very very soft fish and mainly we get this fish in sea.Here in Bengal we get it very easily in fish market.Earlier it was not not very popular as it was very cheap in price but nowardays Lote has become very popular fish in resturants and in homes and so the price has also increased a lot and is very much in demand.

Earlier I used to eat Shutki (dry fish) of Lote which was very popular with east bengal people.Shutki was quite popular with bengalis but now fresh lote fish has become equally popular.Nowardays quite often I make this jhuri (in mashed form).Easy to meake,very few ingredients needed and very very delicious with hot steamed rice.

4. Add chopped Garlic 2 tbsp.Saute for few seconds.
5. Now add chopped onions and fry till it turns golden.
