Bombay Duck Fish: Taste, Health Benefits, and Recipes

Taste: Despite its name, Bombay Duck is not a duck but a fish commonly found along the coasts of Maharashtra and West Bengal. The Bombay Duck, or Bombil in Marathi, has a distinctive texture and flavor. Its meat is soft, delicate, and flaky, with a mildly pungent, fishy aroma. When dried, the fish becomes more intense in flavor and is often enjoyed as a crispy, salty snack. Fresh Bombay Duck has a light, tender bite, making it ideal for frying, curries, and stews.

Health Benefits: Bombay Duck offers several nutritional benefits:

  • High in Protein: It is a rich source of protein, essential for muscle building and overall body maintenance.
  • Low in Calories: Being low in calories, Bombay Duck can be a healthy addition to a balanced diet.
  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Like many fish, it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, improve cognitive function, and reduce inflammation.
  • Vitamins and Minerals: It contains essential nutrients like Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, phosphorus, and calcium, which help boost immunity and improve bone health.
  • Supports Thyroid Function: The iodine content in Bombay Duck helps regulate thyroid function, which is critical for metabolic health.

Indian Recipes:

  1. Bombil Fry (Crispy Bombay Duck Fry): This is one of the most popular preparations in Maharashtra. The fish is cleaned, marinated in spices like turmeric, red chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, and salt, then coated in rice flour or semolina before being shallow-fried until crispy. The dish pairs perfectly with rice and dal or as an appetizer.

    Ingredients:

    • Fresh Bombay Duck (Bombil) – 6-8 pieces
    • Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
    • Red chili powder – 1 tsp
    • Ginger-garlic paste – 1 tsp
    • Rice flour – 1 cup
    • Semolina (Rava) – ½ cup
    • Salt – as per taste
    • Oil – for frying

    Method:

    1. Clean the fish and pat dry.
    2. Marinate the fish with turmeric, red chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, and salt. Set aside for 30 minutes.
    3. Coat the fish in a mixture of rice flour and semolina.
    4. Heat oil in a pan and fry the fish until crispy on both sides.
    5. Serve hot with a wedge of lime.
  2. Bombil Kalvan (Bombay Duck Curry): A flavorful curry made with fresh Bombay Duck simmered in a spicy coconut-based gravy. This dish is a coastal delicacy in Maharashtra, especially in Konkani cuisine.

    Ingredients:

    • Bombay Duck – 6-8 cleaned pieces
    • Coconut milk – 1 cup
    • Onion – 1, finely chopped
    • Tomatoes – 2, chopped
    • Ginger-garlic paste – 1 tsp
    • Green chilies – 2
    • Red chili powder – 1 tsp
    • Coriander powder – 1 tsp
    • Turmeric – ½ tsp
    • Oil – 2 tbsp
    • Salt – to taste
    • Fresh coriander – for garnish

    Method:

    1. Heat oil in a pan and sauté onions until golden.
    2. Add ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, tomatoes, and spices. Cook until the oil separates.
    3. Add the cleaned Bombay Duck and stir gently, ensuring the fish doesn't break.
    4. Pour in coconut milk, adjust seasoning, and simmer on low heat until the fish is cooked.
    5. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve with steamed rice or bhakri (a type of flatbread).

Origin Recipe: Bombay Duck Dried (Bombil Sukka): Traditionally, Bombay Duck is sun-dried along the coastal regions of Maharashtra. The drying process gives the fish a strong, salty flavor. Dried Bombay Duck can be fried or used in curries.

Ingredients:

  • Dried Bombay Duck – 10-12 pieces
  • Onion – 1 large, finely chopped
  • Red chili powder – 1 tsp
  • Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
  • Tamarind pulp – 2 tbsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Oil – for frying

Method:

  1. Soak the dried fish in water for 10-15 minutes to soften it slightly.
  2. Drain and pat dry.
  3. Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry the dried Bombay Duck until crispy.
  4. In another pan, sauté onions until golden, then add turmeric, chili powder, tamarind pulp, and salt.
  5. Add the fried Bombay Duck pieces to the mixture and stir well.
  6. Serve hot with rice or flatbread.

Bombay Duck is versatile and can be prepared in many ways, from simple frying to adding it to curries or stews. Its unique taste and health benefits make it a favorite in coastal Indian cuisines.

These are amazing, my dogs favorite toys now. I have two strong chewers who haven’t been able to destroy these. I use yogurt, peanut butter and eggs, broth, really any dog friendly liquids to fill it. I recommend these to all my friends and family with dogs of all sizes.

Excellent Purchase!
Color: Brown, Pattern Name: Tree stump 2 Pack, Color: Brown, Pattern Name: Tree stump 2 Pack
My dogs and I really like these treat toys! I was surprised and questioning whether to keep them when I took them from the box. They are heavier and harder and larger than I envisioned. I didn't realize how hard a nylon/coffee wood combo actually is. However, I want to emphasize that the sales description IS accurate. It details the specifications, materials and size. Clearly states that they are designed specifically for aggressive chewers. I just haven't purchased anything quite like this before. That said, I was happy it came in a 2 pack and it seems a good value for the price. The dogs have chewed on them, I can see the marks, but they haven't made a dent after about 6 treat sessions. These logs are at least as hard as antlers. They will last a long time. The silicone trays are easy to fill and freeze. I made low calorie popsicles with bone broth and some added mix-ins like pureed pumpkin, healthy freeze dried dog food topper sprinkle, etc. You could also add some peanut butter in the small open end of the log if you want. I just ran hot water over the bottom of the silicone tray to melt the freeze slightly and the frozen treats slid right out. They are shaped perfectly to fit the hole in the log. The seller provided small tools to unscrew/screw the cap in and out for filling with treats. Even the smaller of my 2 dogs (30 lb Brittany) can get her mouth around the end of the log to carry it to her bed to lay and lick/chew it. I guess another advantage, beyond the durability, of the material is that my dogs don't want to play with it like a toy. They know it is time to relax and have a treat timeout. More like chilling with a chew bone. Overall we really do love these!! Glad I tried them.

My dogs love their dental chews! This product is durable and the perfect size for each of my dogs. I've purchased two of them (medium and large). One of my dogs is an aggressive chewer and this product is holding up. Hartz makes great pet products. I'm very happy with the product.
