Best Fish Head Curry in Johor Bahru (JB)

Written by Updated ago

Spicy, flavourful, fresh and aromatic - the four key qualities to a good curry fish head. Eaten with rice or bread, alongside an abundance of fresh vegetables such as okra, brinjal, cabbage, and onions, a delicious pot of curry fish head will leave you craving for more. Most importantly, the freshness of the fish used. It has to be flaky and firm served in a generous portion. Be it creamy or spicy, we love them all.
