Making fish at home is easier and quicker than you’d think! Here are 14 incredibly easy, delicious, and varied fish recipes you need to add to your meal rotation.
As a North Indian, I started eating fish regularly after getting married to my South Indian husband. From a simple fish fry to a slightly more elaborate fish curry, my Mangalorean husband’s family find any meal without fish incomplete.
So naturally, I have tried many different types of fish recipes over the years. And that’s what I want to share with you today. From beautiful Indian fish curries and fish fries, to creamy salmon and pomfret, this is the only list you need to start making healthy, delicious, and easy fish dishes at home.

Steaming, poaching or baking is the healthiest way to eat fish. All of these methods none to very little oil, while keeping the nutrients intact to a great extent.
Is frozen or fresh fish better for cooking?
I personally prefer frozen fish as I don’t live near a coast and frozen fish is better in terms of retaining their nutrients. Both frozen and fish work really well in most fish recipes. And what to use totally depends on your preference and availability.
