Top 5 Fish Delicacies you must try in Goa
Tantalise your palate with an array of fish dishes
20 Sep, 2018 by Mini Ribeiro
Seafood is synonymous with Goa and most of us head there to savour the best catch cooked in various ways. While Fish Curry Rice or a Rawa-fried Surmai or Rawas or even a Chonak, may be the first dishes that come to our mind when we think fish, there is a lot of variety available in Goa and not just Goan-Portuguese dishes. One can choose from a wide selection of dishes across other cuisines too. Each dish is a palate-pleaser, no matter what spices it is cooked with or with what technique. It obviously has to do with the freshness of the seafood here. These are 5 not-to-be-missed dishes.
