Hi Derek,
Having gone thru the list of fish you posted [and I honestly did not know there are so many types of fish in India's waters] I say they were mud skips or blind catfish---- the type we caught in the Cooum[sp?] river in Madras whenwe were young adults. I believe we called them 'kelthies'!
Quite an incredible list of fish though and full marks to the dedicated guy/ guys/ladies who put it together.Sorry, still can't help mate.
On puffer fish please don't eat as you will be playing russian roulette with your life.Surprisingly, there have been quiet a few deaths in Australia, mainly migrants who have caught the larger species and forgot to take the liver [ or is it the gall bladder? ]out!!! They must have been very hungry to eat one of them! I believe in China they are a delicacy! It must be the dare in eating that adds to the flavour!!
Trust you find your answer soon Derek bhai as you seem to have created a lot of feverish excitement with your post
Cheers mate,
Glenn

Hiya Glenn

Just a bit about the puffer fish. It's a delicacy in Japan where it is called Fugu. You are right about the eating it for the dare factor. But in my mind it is nuts.

Thanks for the info re the Japanese eating the puffer rather than the chinese. I stand to be corrected and thanks again kind Sir!
Cheers,
Glenn
