Pickling is not only a method of preserving vegetables like bitter gourd, drumstick, lemon, green chilies or mango, but it is also used to store non-vegetarian foods like chicken, mutton, fish, prawn etc. Most of us don’t even know that we can make pickles out of non-vegetarian food. Isn’t it? Yes, guys there are Non-Vegetarian Pickles available in the market. Amidst all the sea foods, fish is mostly chosen for pickling. It is because of the ease of making it & the freakish taste and flavor that you get while pickling of fish. Fish Pickle or Meen Achar is a dainty dish made with fresh water river fish from Godavari called as katla fish. Normally, we would have heard people saying fish curry or kulambu tastes good the next day rather than the day on which it is made. It is because of the salt and chili getting marinated in it well; on the second day or after instead of the freshly cooked dish of curry. Hence, there is no need to explain how tasty a fish pickle would be as it is stored for days together enhancing the zest & health in the form of probiotics which helps in restoring the good bacteria that you have lost due to antibiotics that you have had.
