Description

The Spotted Seer Fish hails from warm coastal waters and is instantly recognizable due to its silvery sheen and speckled body. This species is known for its thick fillets, low fat content, and high protein, making it both flavorful and nutritious.

Traditionally, it’s marinated with turmeric, ginger-garlic paste, and seared over high heat to lock in flavor. However, its versatility also shines in western-style preparations such as citrus glazes or herb crusts.

Unlike other oily fish, Spotted Seer maintains a lightness that suits both hearty Indian curries and delicate continental dishes. Its meat holds together well during cooking, making it ideal for grilling and skewering.

Popular in coastal Andhra, Sri Lanka, and parts of Southeast Asia, Spotted Seer offers a global palate experience while staying true to its tropical marine roots.
