When I moved from India, I found it very difficult to identify the fishes in the local market.
In India I knew the local name of most fishes but in a foreign land it was difficult to select
some. I was totally confused.All fish looked the same :) So I just referred to some fish
related sites to get the local names and their english names along with pictures( a picture
says a thousand words) so that one can identify the fishes easily with no further confusion.
So no more confusion. The fish glossary contains fish name translation in Malayalam,
Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, konkani, bengali, marthi and Arabic names form the UAE and gulf
market and some name in sindhi and balochi languages. You can check the reference at the
bottom of the blog for malaysian, Singapore and Pinoy names for the fishes. Help me
correct, if I have written any names wrong. Before going to the fish glossary , lets check the
how to select a fresh fish and for Good Seafood Recipes check this page:
'The freshness Factor - How to buy Fresh Fish'
REDGILL DELIGHT
Bright scarlet gills/bright pink or red on a fish mean it’s freshly caught. A dull color is old
fish. A red dye is often applied to the gills to make appear fresh , so beware
FIRMNESS TEST
Softness/mushy means fish is old, a hard form means freshness. Finger tips shouldn't leave an
impression . Old Fishes are sometimes frozen to make it hard, to misled people

Red Mullet and Indian Goatfish Difference
Page 42 of 70
Red mullet and Indian goatfish (Parupeneus indicus) are often confused. The red mullets or
surmullets are two species of goatfish, Mullus barbatus and Mullus surmuletus, found in the
Mediterranean Sea, east North Atlantic Ocean, and the Black Sea.They are both favored
delicacies in the Mediterranean, and in antiquity were "one of the most famous and valued
fish".[Wiki]
Red mullet has a distinctive set of 4-5 broad, dark brown bands on the body.For a clear view
check the picture with the close up of 2 mullets.Red mullet have a alternating blue and yellow
lines on the head and snout, pink chin barbels with yellow tips, and blue spots in lines along
the body.The red mullet is expensive since it tastes good and is easy to clean & bone.
