What is the indian murrel fish known as in america, and where can i find it?!
Answers: I am pregnant and having fish cravings recently....I want to know where I can find fish (known as murrel in india, with scales and all) ? i do not want to eat salmon, tilapia and other fishes. also can someone tell me whats the difference between murrel and mullet fish?
Indian Murrel Fish is known as snakehead fish. It is imported into the US from China. I am not sure where you are located but try a seafood or specifically an Asian seafood market. They may carry it.
I must caution that since you are pregnant, ask your ob doctor about the mercury levels (esp coming from China) before eating!

Mullet (known as SHEVTO in India)
The mullets or grey mullets are a family (Mugilidae) of ray-finned fish found worldwide in coastal temperate and tropical waters, and in some species in fresh water also.
The Striped or Black Mullet is a delicacy along the Northwest Florida and Alabama gulf coast. Many restaurants in those areas serve mullet as the mainstay of their menus. Fried mullet are the most popular. Smoked, baked, and canned mullet are also eaten. Mullet are usually fileted. The left over frames are often used to make excellent fish stock. The stock makes superb chowders, stews, and bouillabaisse.
