Starting from Kolkata and its Devi like Hilsa, on to Hyderabad and its miraculous fishy asthma cure, to the Tamil Nadu village of St. Francis Xavier, having toddy, Kappa and fish cooked in coconut oil from Kerala, to realizing the importance of Home food in Mangalore, learning that all Goans pastime is fishing and how Mumba Devi
Goddess of Koli is now that of every one in Mumbai to finally revealing Gujarat to be the longest coastline and maximum fish producing and minimum consumption state in India, this book is an amazing read.
It puts forth that irrespective of the region, all fishers have things in common though the fish vary as Rupee is called differently across different regions.
Wondering why nobody recommended Hilsa when in Calcutta?
