They have some pretty interesting starters at Palonki restaurant, Cox’s Bazar. And no, I am not talking about the various types of Seafood grilled. the first one is Loitta fish, commonly known as Bombay duck and is pretty popular in the West Coast of India (commonly known as Bombil). Now, loitta is a super soft fish- which is enjoyed in both fresh and dried form. It’s priced at around 70-150/- a kg at Cox’s Bazar in fresh form, but the price is increased substantially when it’s dried. The reason is quite obvious- weight gets reduced. But, please note, loitta fish has no backbone and thus is very very soft. Please note, fresh loitta is available only at Cox’s Bazaar and very rarely at Dhaka.
