Health hype? Ach, it happens when a boring journal paper about fish gut bacteria gets a press release that says “Goan fish holds cure for cancer!” Suddenly my phone is ringing like monsoon rain, with aunties asking which mackerel to buy. I had to tell my own mother to stop telling neighbours, even as she proudly fried my breakfast. This tiny balcony used to be for my feni and quiet; now every evening I’m explaining to some reporter from Delhi that no, your cholesterol won’t vanish with a fried kingfish.
