Fish Names & Identification

There are almost 31,300 types (by 2011)  of known fish species in the world. And, many types of aquatic animals are also commonly referred to as fish. I have grouped some of the common fish that are found in India (specifically South India).  For better fish identification, use fish data base as reference. If you are into actually fishing sport, use commercial tools like fish finder. This article is all about, what type of fish goes into my curry. Roughly…any marine or river fish should taste right in cooking. However, we keep going back to the known species…as our taste buds have developed a special status of gustatory impulse. So, there you go, my humble take on fish names. Soon, I will be providing better pictures of them. Stay connected.
