King Fish also known as seer fish or sumai is the king among fish. I love this fish since the time I ate it. My mom once made me eat this King Fish Fry by carefully taking the rings out of it which comes after frying. I had named it as “Fish with rings”. Since that day I used to eat this Fish with rings 🙂

As a proud mother, I prepared this king fish fry recipe Goan style and fed my little one in the same way – Fish with rings. I had decorated it with a tomato rose which I carefully carved. My little one came running after she saw the tomato rose. I told her that I will give it to her after the clicks 🙂

How to fry king fish?

My hubby always says to me that no one else can fry fish better then me. OK, I am not praising myself, but am just writing out my feelings. Fish should always be fried on low flame and if it is King fish, then fry at least for 30 minutes Also, salt is the main ingredient. Fish has it’s own salt, so one should be careful while adding salt. Too much or too little will spoil the taste. One can even use tamarind paste for marination.
