Bombay Duck Fish: Taste, Health Benefits, and Recipes

Taste: Despite its name, Bombay Duck is not a duck but a fish commonly found along the coasts of Maharashtra and West Bengal. The Bombay Duck, or Bombil in Marathi, has a distinctive texture and flavor. Its meat is soft, delicate, and flaky, with a mildly pungent, fishy aroma. When dried, the fish becomes more intense in flavor and is often enjoyed as a crispy, salty snack. Fresh Bombay Duck has a light, tender bite, making it ideal for frying, curries, and stews.

Health Benefits: Bombay Duck offers several nutritional benefits:

  • High in Protein: It is a rich source of protein, essential for muscle building and overall body maintenance.
  • Low in Calories: Being low in calories, Bombay Duck can be a healthy addition to a balanced diet.
  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Like many fish, it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, improve cognitive function, and reduce inflammation.
  • Vitamins and Minerals: It contains essential nutrients like Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, phosphorus, and calcium, which help boost immunity and improve bone health.
  • Supports Thyroid Function: The iodine content in Bombay Duck helps regulate thyroid function, which is critical for metabolic health.

Indian Recipes:

  1. Bombil Fry (Crispy Bombay Duck Fry): This is one of the most popular preparations in Maharashtra. The fish is cleaned, marinated in spices like turmeric, red chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, and salt, then coated in rice flour or semolina before being shallow-fried until crispy. The dish pairs perfectly with rice and dal or as an appetizer.

    Ingredients:

    • Fresh Bombay Duck (Bombil) – 6-8 pieces
    • Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
    • Red chili powder – 1 tsp
    • Ginger-garlic paste – 1 tsp
    • Rice flour – 1 cup
    • Semolina (Rava) – ½ cup
    • Salt – as per taste
    • Oil – for frying

    Method:

    1. Clean the fish and pat dry.
    2. Marinate the fish with turmeric, red chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, and salt. Set aside for 30 minutes.
    3. Coat the fish in a mixture of rice flour and semolina.
    4. Heat oil in a pan and fry the fish until crispy on both sides.
    5. Serve hot with a wedge of lime.
  2. Bombil Kalvan (Bombay Duck Curry): A flavorful curry made with fresh Bombay Duck simmered in a spicy coconut-based gravy. This dish is a coastal delicacy in Maharashtra, especially in Konkani cuisine.

    Ingredients:

    • Bombay Duck – 6-8 cleaned pieces
    • Coconut milk – 1 cup
    • Onion – 1, finely chopped
    • Tomatoes – 2, chopped
    • Ginger-garlic paste – 1 tsp
    • Green chilies – 2
    • Red chili powder – 1 tsp
    • Coriander powder – 1 tsp
    • Turmeric – ½ tsp
    • Oil – 2 tbsp
    • Salt – to taste
    • Fresh coriander – for garnish

    Method:

    1. Heat oil in a pan and sauté onions until golden.
    2. Add ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, tomatoes, and spices. Cook until the oil separates.
    3. Add the cleaned Bombay Duck and stir gently, ensuring the fish doesn't break.
    4. Pour in coconut milk, adjust seasoning, and simmer on low heat until the fish is cooked.
    5. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve with steamed rice or bhakri (a type of flatbread).

Origin Recipe: Bombay Duck Dried (Bombil Sukka): Traditionally, Bombay Duck is sun-dried along the coastal regions of Maharashtra. The drying process gives the fish a strong, salty flavor. Dried Bombay Duck can be fried or used in curries.

Ingredients:

  • Dried Bombay Duck – 10-12 pieces
  • Onion – 1 large, finely chopped
  • Red chili powder – 1 tsp
  • Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
  • Tamarind pulp – 2 tbsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Oil – for frying

Method:

  1. Soak the dried fish in water for 10-15 minutes to soften it slightly.
  2. Drain and pat dry.
  3. Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry the dried Bombay Duck until crispy.
  4. In another pan, sauté onions until golden, then add turmeric, chili powder, tamarind pulp, and salt.
  5. Add the fried Bombay Duck pieces to the mixture and stir well.
  6. Serve hot with rice or flatbread.

Bombay Duck is versatile and can be prepared in many ways, from simple frying to adding it to curries or stews. Its unique taste and health benefits make it a favorite in coastal Indian cuisines.

Lovely Shoes
Size: 8.5, Color: Nude/Nubuck
These were a gift. I understand they are "slightly" wide at the toes but fit otherwise. The color & heel height were exactly as desired. She felt the traction was also very good. I look forward to seeing her wear them to her son's wedding!

Wedding Guest Shoe
Size: 6.5, Color: Silver/Glitter
True to size. Very true 6.5 in most all of my shoes. I thought the fit was great but after wearing for a little bit they are horrible. The glitter goes down a little too far on the back and rubs the heel. The sides of your toes will hurt after a little bit of wearing them. Super cute shoes and I toughed it out because they looked great but definitely not the most comfortable shoes.

These shoes are adorable but they run large
Size: 11, Color: Champagne
Dream Pairs Low Chunk Heel Size 11 Color These shoes are absolutely gorgeous. The beautiful champagne color shines so exquisitely in the light. They are very shiny and somewhat sparkly. They are definitely eye catching. Style These shoes are great looking, rather sharp. I appreciate the chunky heel design which goes with many outfits from dresses, pants, and jumpers. Size I usually wear a size 11 shoe, sometimes a 10.5 depending on how they run, but these run large in length. I could have easily bought a size 10 for the length of the shoe. My left foot is smaller than the right foot so usually the right foot fits more snug. I definitely still had room in the back for the right foot, but of course, even more room in the back for the left foot. In terms of the width, the toe strap very well accommodates wider toe boxes, as the straps fit properly right out of the box, but the arch of the shoe is a little narrow. Nothing too noticeable but the fit of the shoe is a little odd. Versatility I find that these shoes can be worn with many different styles and outfits, and can go with dressy or casual clothing. The variety of matching outfits is not limited. Comfort These shoes are very comfortable to wear and walk in. Overall, I recommend these shoes

Perfect heel!
Size: 11, Color: Gold/Glitter
Love these heels! I bought the gold and wasn’t expecting them to be most glittery. They are beautiful and comfortable! The heel is chunky enough that these walk like a wedge but don’t look like the heels from the lay 90’s. Love them and will be buying in different colors n
