Pomfret is a sea-water fish with a single bone, which is usually cooked as a whole after removing the inner part of fish. They don't have a strong fishy odor unlike other sea-water fishes. The earlier form of the Pomfret's name was "Pamflet", a word which probably ultimately comes from Portuguese pampo, referring to various fish.
It has a good nutritional value. Pomfret fishes are high in fat content, provides calcium, vitamins A and D, and BĂ vitamins, including Vitamin B12. Increased Vitamin B12 makes it important for the nervous system. It also contains good amount of iodine, critical for the thyroid gland. So, Pomfret is good for eyesight, healthy hair and skin.
The Pomfret is an elitist fish. It is highly in demand and expensive too. It can be baked, grilled, fried and used in curries. My personal favorite is "Pomfret Masala Tawa Fry", prepared in the same way that they do on sea beaches.
