What is Bombay duck?

Also called bummalo, this isn't a duck at all, but a small dried fish from India and Bangladesh. The fish are landed, then hung on racks on the beach to dry in the sun. In cooking, Bombay duck is usually heated in the oven or fried until it is crisp enough to be crumbled over stews and curries. It was once banned by the EU, but can now be imported to the UK; you can find it in tins or packets in Asian supermarkets.
