Product Description
Product Description
In English, the Chela Pata fish is most commonly known as the Silver Hatchet Chela (scientific name: Chela cachius).
1. Appearance
Body Shape: The name "Pata" (meaning leaf in Bengali) refers to its very thin, flat, and leaf-like body.
- Color: It has a bright, shimmering silver color that can look almost translucent or metallic under light.
- Size: It is a small freshwater fish, usually growing only a few inches long.
- 2 Taste and Texture
Flavor: It has a mild, sweet, and delicate flavor typical of small river fish.
- Texture: Because it is so thin and small, it becomes very crunchy when deep-fried.
- Bones: Like many small silver fish, it has many tiny bones. However, when fried well, the bones become brittle and can be eaten safely, providing a good source of calcium.
3. How is Cooke?
In English-speaking culinary contexts, you might see it prepared as:
Crispy Fried Fish: Marinated in turmeric and salt, then fried until golden.
- Small Fish Curry (Chorchori): Cooked with thin strips of potatoes and eggplant in a dry, spicy style.
- Mustard Gravy: Gently simmered in a pungent mustard and green chili sauce.
- 4 Buying it
If you are looking for it in a Western country (UK, USA, Canada), check the frozen section of Bangladeshi or Indian grocery stores. It is usually sold in small frozen blocks labeled as "Chela" or "Kachki" (though Kachki is even smaller).
