Fishing boat restaurants are a unique culinary concept that has gained popularity in various coastal regions of India. These establishments combine the authentic experience of being on a traditional fishing boat with the pleasure of enjoying freshly prepared seafood.
In India, fishing boat restaurants often feature local specialties such as Malvani fish curry, Goan prawn balchão, and Bengali ilish maach. The seafood is typically sourced directly from local fishermen, ensuring freshness and supporting the local economy. Many of these restaurants use traditional Indian cooking methods, including clay oven （tandoor） baking and spice grinding with stone mortars.
The ambiance of these restaurants typically incorporates elements of Indian coastal culture, with decorations featuring fishing nets, traditional boat models, and local artwork. Some even offer live cooking demonstrations where chefs prepare dishes using authentic Indian spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and mustard seeds. |
