Spicy Fish fry (pomfret)


During my childhood days while coming home from school, i will keep thinking what would be there for lunch today!!

asking my mummy "what have you made mummy, do we have fish today???"..My mummy used to say i will find a fisherman as a groom for you when you grow up :D
I miss those golden days :(
We usually purchase some fresh pomfret from "sea food city" and i like them fried.
