What is Queen Fish (Saram)?

Queen Fish (Scomberoides commersonnianus) is a large, flat-bodied fish known for its firm, white meat. While its flavor is described as satisfactory, it is its texture and adaptability that make it stand out. It is particularly well-suited for preparations that enhance its taste with a carefully selected blend of spices and herbs.

Key Features:

• Firm, White Meat: The flesh of the Queen Fish is firm and dense, holding its shape exceptionally well during cooking. This makes it a great option for frying and grilling, where it won’t easily fall apart.
• Versatile for Cutting: Being a large, flat fish, Queen Fish yields beautifully thick fillets and boneless “biscuits” or “fingers,” offering great yield and minimal waste for a variety of preparations.
• Perfect for Frying: The firm texture of the fish makes it a top choice for fish fry joints and caterers. When fried, it develops a satisfying, crisp exterior while remaining moist inside.
• Great Value: As an abundant fish in its habitat, Queen Fish is available at stable and affordable prices throughout the year, making it a budget-friendly option without compromising on a good meal.

Culinary Uses:

The firm texture and mild flavor of Queen Fish (Saram) make it an ideal candidate for various cooking methods:

• Frying & Grilling: This is a classic choice. Queen Fish is perfect for pan-frying or grilling, as its meat stays intact and becomes deliciously firm.
• Curries & Masalas: While it is often fried, its firm texture can also stand up to the rich gravies and bold spices of traditional curries.
• Boneless Biscuits & Fingers: Its shape and meatiness make it excellent for creating boneless, bite-sized pieces perfect for appetizers or a kid-friendly meal.
• Baking & Steaming: Can be baked or steamed with the right blend of herbs to keep the moisture in and bring out a more delicate flavor.
