Original price was: ₹200.00.Current price is: ₹189.00.

Lote Mach (লোটে মাছ), widely known as Bombay Duck (Harpadon nehereus), is a popular marine and estuarine fish prized across coastal Bengal and western India for its unique texture and rich flavor.

Appearance & Texture: Slender, translucent grayish-white body with a wide mouth and tiny sharp teeth. The meat is exceptionally soft, delicate, and holds a very high water content, almost melting when cooked.
Bones: It features a single, extremely soft, gelatinous central spine that softens completely during cooking, making the entire fish easily edible without tedious deboning.
Habitat: Marine and estuarine waters; abundant along the shallow coastal waters of the northern Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea.
Culinary Highlights:
- Lote Macher Jhuri / Bhorta: The most iconic preparation, where the fish is slow-cooked and shredded until the moisture evaporates, creating a dry, spicy mash infused with onions, garlic, green chilies, and mustard oil.
- Crispy Fry: Coated in a seasoned batter of chickpea flour (besan) or cornstarch and deep-fried until crunchy outside and cloud-soft inside.
- Lote Macher Jhal: A rich, semi-dry curry cooked with onions, tomatoes, and robust spices, handled gently to keep the fish pieces intact.
Cooking Tip: Do not add water while cooking fresh Lote mach; it naturally releases a significant volume of liquid, which must be evaporated over medium-high heat for dry preparations.
