machli week
I should have decided this earlier and put the photos in a nice order, but there are just several I want to show from the local fishing community - so now you are stuck with a few more days of fish!
Right by the sea, where the fishermen bring in their morning/evening catch is also where they dry the fish. I do not understand why some are dried and others are sold "fresh", perhaps a reader can englighten me! But these are some scary looking fish that I would not want to find on my dinner plate.

Sure are some scary ass fish. Right out of some horror flick.

These fishes which are dried are a delicacy in India. They are atleast 3-4 times expensive than the fresh fish.
They are dried in pure sea-salt and then preserved for a typical monsoon season, when the fisherman dont venture out in the sea for fishing.
Ummmmm....fried dried prawns, pomfrets. Ooooooohhh..!! Mouth watering...!!
mmm. I love machli-especially, marinated in mirchi and fried. There is nothing better than having some machli, chawal, aur dahi...mmm
Really cool shot. I agree with the first comment too! Scary looking things...
They look like something I've seen before called baracuda. Do you know what kind of fish they are? Are they what ashiya called machli?
Ok, now I found the Machli post and understand the ones above. Still looks scary to me though!
machli just means fish.
The fish pictured is called - "baangda" in the local Marathi lingo.
It is very tasting when deep fried covered with a very spicy "marathi" flavored batter.
Ummmmmm...!! baangda....fried baangda.... ummmmmm...!
