It's a popular seafood item, especially in western India, and is known for its soft, fleshy texture. The fish is often enjoyed fried or in curries. Its peculiar name is thought to have originated from the British Anglicization of the Marathi name bombil or the bazaar cry bomiltak.
The fish is often dried and salted before it is consumed, as its meat does not have a distinctive taste of its own. After drying, the odour of the fish is extremely powerful, and it is usually transported in air-tight containers. The Bombay duck is a popular food item in certain areas of India.
