If you love Indian fish then you have probably experienced the frustration of not finding popular Indian fishes like Pomfret or King fish in your local grocery stores. The local American grocery stores in the US typically sell Salmon, Catfish or Tilapia which are not found in India. Fish is a large part of our family diet and we are always on the lookout for good fish. Dallas has a diverse international population with a lot of expats with Asian and Indian backgrounds and we were fortunate enough to find a grocery store chain called H-Mart. H-Mart is a Korean store and has a wonderful seafood section where you can find good selection of Indian fish such as the Black Pomfret, White Pomfret, Kingfish, Mackerel. The entire store is extremely clean and well lit. The seafood section has fresh fish, shrimp, crabs and lobster as well. Besides buying seafood, its a great store to do your regular grocery. |
The Dallas area has one store in Carrollton.
Address : 2625 Old Denton Rd. #200 Carrollton, TX 75007
Telephone : 972-323-9700
Hours : 8 AM - 10 PM
If you are unable to travel to Carrollton, then you may be able to find the fish in your local Indian grocery stores but you will only find frozen fish. We have typically been disappointed with the fish in the Indian grocery stores as we are not sure when it was packed.
The Indian Food & Grocery section of the website has a list of such stores. The site currently has over 2000 Indian food & grocery stores listed in the United States. If you think one of the stores has incorrect data or if you have a new store you would like listed, please do contact us. We would greatly appreciate it, if you would provide a review of these stores.

 | A man named Kundan Lal Gujral ran a restaurant called Moti Mahal in Peshawar before the partition of India. Trying out new recipes to keep his patrons interested, Gujral tried cooking chicken in tandoors (clay ovens) used by locals until then to cook naans (bread). The tandoors are bell-shaped ovens, set into the earth and fired with wood or charcoal reaching temperatures of about 900 degrees. Gujral was able to cook the tender chickens in these ovens making them succulent inside and crispy outside. After the partition in 1947, Punjab was partitioned with the Eastern portion joining India and the Western, Pakistan. Peshawar became part of Pakistan and Gujral found himself one among many refugees fleeing the rioting and upheaval by moving to India. He moved his restaurant to Delhi in a place called Daryaganj. The Tandoori chicken at Moti Mahal so impressed the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru that he made it a regular at official banquets. Visiting dignitaries that enjoyed Tandoori Chicken included American Presidents Richard Nixon and John Kennedy, Soviet leaders Nikolai Bulganin and Nikita Khrushchev, the King of Nepal, and the Shah of Iran. The fame of Tandoori Chicken led to many derivatives like Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken, commonly found in menus in Indian restaurants all over the world. |

Mumbai Street Foods
Mumbai is one of the greatest cities in the world and thousands move into the city everyday. Over the history of the city, these immigrants have had tremendous influence on the food of the city. You can find all kinds of cuisine in Mumbai but there are some things that are very Mumbai in nature and this section of the website tries to look at the food items that define Mumbai. Having spent my early life in Mumbai, the thought of many of these items make my mouth drool. Many of these items are now available elsewhere but there's no better place than the streets of Mumbai to have this.
We hope you enjoy this new section and if you have any ideas on things to add, please let us know.
