Its flavour is richer, and its thick, meaty flesh holds firm through long, slow simmering, so your curry pieces stay whole and satisfying. Katla is also known for its large head, which is treasured in Bengali cooking for dishes such as muri ghonto and fish head curry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoose Your Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach Katla is sold per fish, in two sizes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.5–2.8kg per fish:\u003c\/strong\u003e a great size for family dinners and weekly cooking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4–4.5kg per fish:\u003c\/strong\u003e ideal for large families, gatherings and festive occasions, with plenty of thick steaks to portion across several meals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic fish curries such as macher jhol, kalia and doi maach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurmeric and chilli-spiced fried fish steaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional fish head dishes like muri ghonto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMustard, tamarind or tomato-based gravies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooking Tip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor the best results, rub the steaks with turmeric and salt and lightly fry them before adding them to the gravy.
