Goa is loved for reasons more than one. The scenic beauty, lovely people, and most importantly, the unique variety of dishes make Goa one of the most visited places in India. Being a coastal area, the Goan people have a high consumption of seawater fish as their protein. Hence, several delicious fish curries were born in this state and are now being shared with the rest of the world. One such delicious fish curry is the Bangda Fish Curry, which is a mackerel fish curry.
At Licious, we offer fresh Bangda or Mackerel. We have a range of freshwater and seawater fishes that are caught fresh daily and never frozen. What’s more?
