Pomfret: White Pomfret works the best here. If you can't source it then any meaty white fish like king fish, catfish or halibut will work. The taste will not be the same. In the same pan you used for frying the fish add some more oil, add your chopped onions, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp turmeric and ½ tsp mixed curry powder. Allow the onions to sauté for several minutes and once they start to soften add your green chillies (you may want to slice them if you want added heat, I've left mine whole). For the sake of understanding the taste of a fish, we can examine the fish in various areas like, texture, appearance, ease of cooking, taste, flavour, nutrients and the colour of cooked meat.

The Atlantic pomfret ( Brama brama), also known as Ray's bream, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a pomfret of the family Bramidae. It is found in the Atlantic, Indian, and South Pacific Oceans, at depths down to 1,000m (3,300ft).

Another popular way of cooking Pompanos is the En Papillote method wherein, the flesh of the fish is securely placed in a cooking dish or well secured plate with lids. Some people also use parchment paper to capsule the fish along with essential spices to cook. Add your marinated pomfrets to the hot oil. Fry for 6-7 mins either side, being careful when turning over so as not to break the fish. Aim for a golden brown colour. Remove fish from the pan and place in a dish.

Tasting Pompanos is a delight to many people. They have great texture, taste, and flavour and can be incorporated in many cuisines with ease. Many chefs claim that Pompanos tastes better when they are baked or cooked using fewer spices. You can totally enjoy the fish all by itself. Its already delicious and filling. But if you need a side dish i recommend a steamy bowl of white rice. Its a classic fish rice combination that never fails. Clean the fish properly, otherwise it will have an unpleasant smell of stale blood. See mypost on 6 Simple Steps to Scale and Clean Your Fish Like A Profor more details.

Each of the various species has its own unique behavior patterns. Most have social behavior and congregate in groups known as schools. The size of the school varies based on the species. Some species undergo seasonal migrations to follow different food sources or reproduce. Reproduction of the Pomfret
