Tuna locally known as Choora in Kerala and by other names as well is a highly sought after fish abroad. Real Tuna caught here in Kerala boards the flight to Japan, US or Europe directly. We get the thin second grade stuff here because Mallus does not like Tuna/Choora or any fish with red meat. It is not good for that Idivettu Meen Curry of Soyamban Fish Fry. That is why I could still buy a Kilo of the fish for Rs. 80.00 today. Even the humble but rising star Chala demands Rs. 60 these days.
The fishermen says that only boxers and athletes eat this fish half hearted to get high energy and muscle power. They just boil the stuff and swallow it like balls. But unlike red meat monsters like Beef and Pork the fish with Red meat is welcome on the Dinner table. It has many health benefits.
Details and a superb Tuna dish in my next post.
