                                                      FISH FRY 
Here's another recipe straight out of a typical Bengali's kitchen. Most Bengali's day, does not complete  if there's no fish in the plate.
Lets start with a prologue of the fish which I am going to describe the recipe . Its bhetki  . The whole bhetki looks something like the picture below.  Basa fish or Surmai Fish can be used as well.

Marination :-
