Guys, given that you all have been ranting so much about how tasty these murral critters are, I am waiting to sink my teeth into one.

Any good recipes on how to prepare them?
Mothers secrets....???

Keep it simple Bobby. Good old chilly powder,salt, haldi powder and a decent fry is the way to go, though i must say i have tasted some delicious Murral Biriyani at the river.

Must agree with the Owens fry recipe -guess it holds good for many fish.Had some fried 'river' fish in Chamba, HP -lots of chilly, but plain jane owen masala fry! mind blowing.
Am interested in the fish biryani though-never have made or tried it.Some of the commercial stuff I've seen had chunks of fried fish mixed in the pulao and served as biryani-blasphemy!

To enjoy the murral better remove the skin, fillet and then cook it any way you want - curried, fried, barbied, etc.

Be careful not to overfry this fish.

P.S.: Tilapias and baalemeen make far better eating.

Covered with chilli powder, lime and salt, and fried in nice hot oil would be best for the dude! If it is to be done on a barbie, you know where to put the rod.

HA HA

shish kebabb by uptide!

From the few I have had to date:

1) Bale meen.

2) Tilapia.

3) Murral.

AAh Rustam..... Butter fried Bale meen

Doesn't get better.

That was our New Year's eve dinner - bale meen, tilapia (not in the pic) and murral cooked to perfection by my personal chef, Prathap, on a wood fire under the stars.

Wunderbar!

Second place would go to the freshwater eels that can be caught on worm as long as they're skinned.

Does anyone have a picture of a freshwater eel the one MM is talking about. We get fresh water eel here that is very tasty, white silver belly/underside and black top..

We all go out in to the wild and cook up a lot of yummy stuff and some stories. Can we start posting these fish recipes, positively not for mahseer or you will be eating a size 12 from what i hear. But stuff that our grandmoms and moms have. even the stuff that our granddads and dads have, the ones with a lot of rum. And don't forget the ones we all have tried.

Please give them names that make mouths water.

Cool post some pics when u blast those buggers out of the water.

Hey how about spending a night at this place.

interesting but not too exciting .. anyday any time, u have my number

"Tools are plenty however things to remember always gut the fish as soon as possible in order to spoil the taste"

Hey Tats why spoil the taste of the fish.

Kulsdood, the link that tats posted will get you started. Theres a fillet knife available which helps in doing a good job. check cableas :http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0029795516510a&navCount=1&podId=0029795&parentId=cat602777&masterpathid=&navAction=jump&cmCat=search-cat602777&catalogCode=IH&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat602777&hasJS=true

You may also want to cook thefish right where you catch them. send me a pm to recive quick recipies.

Hey guys,

catching fish is fun ...then comes the cleaning & cooking part & then the eating !

One of the reasons that I dont catch too much fish is that I am deligated the job of cleaning the fish & cooking it (by default)

I'm sure that some of you have secret ingredients. Anyone care to share any ?

The skin in no way spoils the taste - in fact some feel that the skin is what gives taste to the fish - so that is just a matter of choice.
