For the unversed, Pulasa fish is a super popular delicacy that is sparingly found in the Godavari region. People believe that these fish have medicinal benefits, apart from tasting lip-smackingly good.

And with such a reputation comes a smacking pricetag. These fish are known to be sold for exorbitant prices and here’s one such instance.
