Bombili is normally a dried fish which we prepare at home occasionally. "Just the other day" at my local supermarket I was surprised to find fresh bombili. We have never seen or tasted fresh bombili before.
I dont even know how to prepare it when its fresh. After few calls to my friends and cousins I got complete info about this fish how to prepare etc.
We thoroughly enjoyed this fish its very light and tasty almost like basa fish very easy to clean and prepare in a jiffy. For just around 200 bucks 500 grams we had 10 generous portions of fish.
