Lady Fish (Kilangu Meen)

A long, slender fish packed with protein for strong muscles and good for heart health. Ladyfish, abundant in regions from Cape Cod to the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, is also found in southern Brazil and India’s tropical backwaters and Karnataka’s western coast, known locally as kalan fish. With its mild taste, it’s popular in Karnataka, where it’s cooked in various ways like fish fry and curries. Enjoy it lightly pan-fried with a sprinkle of garam masala and lemon.
