Bombil fry the ultimate favorite of a seafood lover !
.
.
Bombil is also known as Bombay Duck owing to the fact that it’s presence is found in and around waters of Bombay (Mumbai). For the benefit of those who reside outside of Mumbai, let me clarify Upfront-Bombay Duck is not a **** but a fish. It is definitely one of the most popular fishes for Mumbaikars.

Particularly during monsoon seasons when fishing is stopped in sea water of west coast, Mumbaikars prefer buying dried version of this lizard fish. During summers the sight of Bombil suspended with a rope tied across poles to dry up is far too common if you happen to be in Mumbai. The fish is high in moisture content and when dried it loses all its moisture and it appears like a small stick. So if you are familiar with Mumbai slang, this explains why a thin person is referred in Mumbai parlance as Sukka Bombil (dried Bombay Duck)

.Bombil is a highly valued fish in homes of Maharashtrians, Goan, Parsis and East Indians and many delicacies exists in each of these Cuisines made with Bombil.
