Kerala is famous for its Karimeen Fry. Pear spot( Karimeen) is one of the most tasty and sought out fresh water fish in Kerala. This fish is made for all special occasions. Though the whole fish is hard to eat it is a special treat. I do like to fry it whole which makes a very elegant presentation. In my recent visit to India we did get Fresh Karimeen. The fish sellers do clean the fish which makes our job a lot easier. The fish is marinated in simple spices and then deep fried. Here the Karimeen fried is served with a simple onion salad.
