Description

About The Book: In this book, the author unveils the extensive research conducted by Francis Talbot Day during his assignment in Cochin on the Malabar Coast of India from 1859 to 1864. Author's work not only sheds light on the untapped potential of specific fish species, particularly Sardines, but also delves into the thriving industry of Isinglass production, derived from fish and known as "Fish sounds." This industry, with Malabar as its epicenter, exported its products to Bombay and eventually reached China. Moving beyond the economic perspective, the author explores the rich cultural and religious significance of fish in India. They delve into how fish are intertwined with deities, play integral roles in wedding ceremonies, and are central to dietary restrictions imposed by various faiths.
