History

Chilli Fish is a popular Indo-Chinese dish that emerged from the fusion of Indian and Chinese cuisines, particularly in Kolkata, where Chinese immigrants introduced their flavors to local cooking.

The dish is inspired by traditional Chinese stir-fried fish dishes but modified with Indian spices and flavors to suit the local palate. Over time, it has become a favorite in Indian restaurants, street food stalls, and home kitchens.

Chilli Fish follows the same preparation method as Chilli Chicken, a well-known Indo-Chinese classic. The key difference is the use of seafood, which adds a unique taste and texture.

Today, Chilli Fish is widely enjoyed across India and beyond, loved for its crispy texture and bold, spicy flavors.
