In West Bengal,Tripura, Orissa, Assam and Bangladesh, fried fish or māchh bhājā is a common delicacy eaten as a snack or fritter to go with a meal. Riverine fish like bhetki, topshey, aarh and pābdā (Ompok  pābdā), and anadromous  fish such as hilsa  are commonly fried in Bengali cuisine, Oriya cuisine  and Assamese cuisine. The oil used to fry the fish may often be used as a dip. Fried fish roe (e.g. of hilsa) are also often eaten this way. The fish is often deep fried such that fish bones become crispy and edible, as is the case with small fish like Maurala (Opio cephalus).
