Love of Sardines ( Mathi Meen)

Sardine for lunch

I been a sea food lover for a long long time. Probably, I got this trait from my dad, who too was much fond of fish. I remember seeing him eating a piece of fish curry before he leaves to his office, after his afternoon siesta.

It’s strange how taste, habits, behaviors gets carried to the next generation and so on.

Coming to the topic of fish, I also have a habit of taking pic of food, especially if the fish is fresh and well prepared. Often times, fish is deep fried or it’s over cooked. The sight of over cooked fish really pisses me off as I find it as a mark of carelessness or lack of respect towards the fish.

These days I often complaint a lot when the fish curry made by the chechi is cooked beyond a certain time. One mistake people or hotel folks make is that they make the gravy and then put it in high flame. Man, that a bloody mistake. Also, the fish fry from most hotel is like a piece of charcoal. The meat gets burned and there’s nothing to munch from the fish. This is mostly true when it comes to sardines. I wonder why they make this mistake or a habit.

I guess it’s time for me to start a hotel which is exclusive about fish and different preparation.
