Bombay Duck, despite its name, is not a duck but a fish, specifically a lizardfish called Harpadon nehereus. It's a popular seafood item, especially in western India, and is known for its soft, fleshy texture. The fish is often enjoyed fried or in curries. Its peculiar name is thought to have originated from the British Anglicization of the Marathi name bombil or the bazaar cry bomiltak.
