Thirutha / Grey Mullet / Bhangor

The Grey Mullet, locally known as Thirutha, is a versatile fish found in both fresh water and estuaries. Famous for its exceptional flavour, it’s a favourite for rich curries and crispy fries. Though it has small bones and soft flesh, its taste more than makes up for it. Despite the name “Grey,” its colour is actually a silvery white — but with flavour this good, who cares about the colour!
