Cutting Preference
Kolkata Bhetki Diamond Fry Cut is made from tender, boneless Bhetki fillet, neatly cut into attractive diamond-shaped portions. The flesh is mild, delicate and flaky, making it particularly suitable for the classic Kolkata-style Bhetki Fish Fry with breadcrumbs, kasundi, onion and lemon.
Fresh Bhetki fillet should have firm, moist flesh, a clean mild smell and an even pinkish-white appearance. The flesh should not feel excessively soft or leave a depression when pressed. Fish-quality specifications also recommend that Bhetki fillets be firm, evenly textured and free from foul odour.
Approximate values per 100 g edible portion: Energy: ~79 kcal Protein: ~15 g Fat: ~1 g Carbohydrates: ~3 g Calcium: ~480 mg Phosphorus: ~350 mg Iron: ~3 mg Another Indian nutritional database reports Bhetki at about 15.3 g protein and 0.29 g fat per 100 g, illustrating that nutritional values can vary according to the fish and dataset. Important: these figures are for raw fish. Once the Bhetki is coated with breadcrumbs and fried, calories and fat will increase because of the coating and cooking oil.
