Otti, also known as Rabbit Fish, is a coastal favourite with a clean, slightly sweet flavour and firm texture. This versatile fish is ideal for shallow frying or preparing rich fish curries with coconut or tamarind bases. It holds up well in various cooking styles and absorbs marinades beautifully. Popular in South Indian and Sri Lankan cuisines, it's perfect for weekday or festive meals.
Otti is a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting heart and brain health. Its bone structure is manageable, making it suitable for home cooks and seafood beginners. The flesh cooks quickly, offering flavour without overwhelming spice blends.
Keep refrigerated and use within 1–2 days. Clean and marinate before cooking. Best enjoyed fresh and hot with rice or appam.
