SILVER POMFRET/WHITE POMFRET-This diamond shaped fish is healthy and is super tasty.Fishes are high in Omega 3 fatty acids,low in fat,high in proteins and are very heart-friendly.The one aspect of fish which I like the most is no matter how much you spice them it will always retain its own flavour,the spices can jus enhance the flavours but never kill the taste of the fish and are cooked very quickly.
