What is an alternative name that some people use for the Bombay Duck?

The Bombay Duck, which is actually a type of lizardfish found primarily in the waters of the Arabian Sea, is commonly referred to as "Bombay Fish" by some. This alternative name reflects its connection to the city of Bombay (now Mumbai), where it is a well-known and popular dish in local cuisine.

The confusion often arises due to its name, as many people initially think of it as a duck because of the term "duck" in the name, while it is in fact a fish. The nickname "Bombay Fish" emphasizes its identity as a seafood item. It is worth noting that the other terms listed, while they may appear to be reasonable alternatives, do not have any recognized connection to this specific fish. For instance, terms like "Bombay Lizard," "Bombay Blade," and "Bombay Eel" do not correspond to any commonly accepted nomenclature in culinary or biological contexts for the Bombay Duck.
