Bhetki fish is one of the Bengals hot favourite fish, I must say after Hilsha fish. Ofcourse pomfret fish is also have its own place of Bengali's heart.

Today I ll share the typical and famous fish butter fry which is made by Bhetki Fish.

Generally in any Bengali wedding these days, you can find this recipe.This is just too good to have a starter. The preparation is also not that tough.But yes it takes time to prepare.

I have shared a picture of bhetki fish, offcourse its not that one I bought from market. The fishwala cutr the fish in pieces, otherwise its a tough task to do that.

Try to get the big size Bhetki fish and cut it such a way so that each piece does not have that spinal cord of fish.Means there will be no bone.You have to specifically tell the fish wala to cut like that.
