Bombay duck (Harpadon nehereus) isn't a duck but a small, gelatinous lizardfish from India/Bangladesh, known for its pungent smell when dried but delicious when fresh, often fried crisp or cooked in curries, beloved in Indian cuisine (especially Mumbai) as bombil, and used dried as a savory condiment.
