Bombay duck

Harpadon nehereus, commonly known as the Bombay duck or bummalo, is a species of lizardfish. Adults may reach a maximum length of 40 cm (16 in), but the usual size is around 25 cm (10 in).

Bombay duck is traditionally coated in asafoetida, dried in the sun, then fried and crumbled. It became a popular condiment in Anglo-Indian cooking.

The Bombay duck, or bummalo, is a marine lizardfish of the tropical Indo-Pacific, with a patchy distribution along the Indian coast. It is caught mainly off Maharashtra and Gujarat, with smaller catches in the Bay of Bengal and South China Sea.
