Topse or Mango fish has very soft bones and small in size.This is a delicious fish fry which can be prepared two ways : one by batter frying whole fish or deboning and dipping in batter and coating with breadcrumbs and deep frying.This can be served as a signature item in marriage ceremonies or at parties as a starter with salad and sauce or as a side dish with rice and dal.
