Bombay duck is basically a fish not a duck. There are several controversies behind this name. Before independence in India a train named Bombay daak used to carry these fishes.
Robert Clive was in his journey to conquer the Bengal named these fishes Bombay duck. In Mumbai people love them because of fleshy and soft, quite similar to the flesh of duck.
Finally the fish got the name as a "Bombay duck" The origin of the name is still not cleared. In Bengal it is known as loitta maach (fish). It is loaded with lots of health benefits.
