Description
Ink Perch — Karuva — is a firm perch with clean white flesh, a versatile fish that takes equally well to a crisp fry or a spiced curry.
Loved across communities
A favourite with South Indian and Sri Lankan cooks who like a firm, clean white fish — one that holds its shape in the pan and stays in neat pieces in a curry.
Popular dishes
It shines in a peppery fry and a tangy meen kuzhambu (fish curry), and its firm flesh grills well with a simple chilli-lime marinade.
