GOAN FISH

GOAN FOOD
My tastebuds have triggered my imagination on a goan fish blog. What is it so unique of Goan seafood? If you are a great fan of mackerel, then go for the Bangda fry (Mackerel stuffed with a hot and spicy reacheado masala and shallow fried). Never ever use North Indian Masalas or packaged masalas. You can make the paste at home. Soak red chillies, cinnamon, pepper, cummin seeds, garlic pods in some vinegar. Grind the ingredients into a paste. Add salt and sugar to give that sweet, hot and sour taste. Slit the fish from the side and generously stuff the masala and marinate overnight. Shallow fry in oil on low flame. Voila!... Banda fry

I recommend you have the wide variety of Goan seafood dishes at Star Bar and restaurant near Old Goa. The joint might look shady and lacklusture but if you want to be in a riverside rural bar setting with the sky as the roof, then this is the right place. Enjoy crab soups, mussel fry, Kingfish fry, and Chicken Cafreal as you watch the waves lapping the shores of Mandovi river.
