594 Bombay duck http://www.chow.com/ingredients/594 Tue, 14 Feb 2006 05:15:41 GMT Bamaloh (Bengali); bumla (Gujurati); bombii (Marathi); bummalo (Bengali). Called Bombay duck in English for unclear reasons, this is a dried, salted lizardfish (Harpadon nehereus) found in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. After drying, Bombay duck has an extremely strong aroma and must be packed in airtight containers. It is commonly used as a condiment for curries. The bones of the fish are soft and edible. The importing of dried Bombay duck had been banned by the European Union because of health concerns about drying methods, though that ban has been rescinded.
