Flathead (Kukkar)

Flathead or Kukkar fish is a low-cost yet superb table fish, with finely textured flesh. It can also be steamed, poached, pan-fried, or grilled. Many argue that it is the best Arabian sea fish for fish-n-chips.The sweet flesh, which can tend to dry out slightly with most cooking methods, is moist, flaky, and tender when encased in a light tempura-style batter, and Flathead – Kukkar is served with chips and tartare or mayonnaise.
