Fresh Catla Fish

Catla (Labeo catla), (Bengali: কাতলা, romanized: kâtlâ) also known as the major South Asian carp, is an economically important South Asian freshwater fish in the carp family Cyprinidae. Catla is a surface and midwater feeder. The Catla fish is another mainstay of Bengal and Bihar. It is not as big as the ROH or eaten in as many dishes. But it is still very tasty; it's best when cooked in mustard oil. Catla is also pretty healthy as it has a substantial concentration of protein while being low in saturated fat. Widely found in the lakes and rivers of North India and Assam, Katla fish is enriched with proteins and vitamins. It is low in calories and a healthy option for weight watchers. Have it in traditional curry form and you are going to love it!
