Finding the name of a fish in languages such as Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali, Arabic, etc. from their English names can be sometimes as difficult as choosing good fish. Fish names are quite different and varied in local dialects. Moreover, the same fish, even though in the same language, can be known by a different name in a different locality.
“What’s in a name? That which we call a sardine by any other name would smell (and taste) as sweet.” The same is true about salmon, tuna, seer fish and mackerel. Yet here is a glossary of fish names in English and other languages such as Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali, and Arabic. Search a fish name to ‘taste’ its corresponding translation in other languages.
