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 🙂
KingFish Fry
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.

Ingredients to cook this surmai fish fry:

This recipe needs the following ingredients:

Fish – Thin cut slices of king fish should be used in this recipe.

Spices – Spice powders like turmeric powder and red chili powder is used for marinating the king fish. These powders are also added to rava/semolina while coating the fish.

Tamarind paste – This is optional ingredient. But if used during marination, the taste of fish turns awesome.

Rava / Semolina – This is used for coating the fish before shallow frying.

Oil – Coconut oil or sunflower oil can be used for shallow frying.

 

How to cut king fish for the Goan style king fish fry recipe?

Whenever I go to buy King fish, I always tell them to cut it thin. The thinner the cut, better the taste.
The King fish should be cooked with love. Anything that’s cooked with love turns great.
Below is the recipe that I am sharing with all of you with love. Cook it over this long weekend and enjoy the royal taste 😉 You can also try this Seerfish Curry.
