Fish Pickle

The texture of fish pickle is chunky and moist, with each piece coated in thick, fiery masala. The taste is intensely flavorful—spicy, sour, and savory—with a distinct seafood richness. It pairs wonderfully with hot steamed rice, curd rice, dosa, or chapati.
When stored in a clean, airtight container with enough oil covering the top layer, fish pickle can last for several weeks, making it a cherished homemade specialty in many coastal households.
