Nutrition in Fish Meat
Fish meat is a good source of protein and do not have the high saturated fat that fatty meat products contain in them. Meat of fish is a low calorie and perfect diet food. Fish meat, is rich with Omega 3 fatty acids, which are heart-friendly.
Coming to today’s fish fry recipe, my mom shallow fries the marinated fish pieces and my mom-in-law deep fries them. Sometimes I shallow fry some pieces and deep fry some. It is up to you how you want to fry the fish pieces. Both the fries taste the same in the end. Fish fry can be stored in a clean and dry air tight container in fridge for 2-3 days. I usually serve this with khatti dal or rasam.
Ingredients need to make Andhra Fish Fry are,
Fish Pieces – Catla (bocha), Rohu (ragindii), Murrel (koramenu), Hilsa (pulasa chepa) etc; are most commonly used fishes in making fish recipes.

Onion and Ginger-garlic paste – will give nice texture to the fish fry recipe.
