Description
“Hassar” is the common name in Guyana for fish belonging to the genus Hassar, which are a type of armored catfish native to South America. There isn’t a specific fish called a “Savannah Hassar” as the user’s query suggests, but the fish are found in the savannas and back dams of Guyana.
Key Facts About Hassar Fish
- Type of Fish: Hassar are freshwater armored catfish (family Callichthyinae) and are bottom feeders.
- Habitat: They are found in South American rivers and trenches, particularly abundant in Guyana’s interior regions like the Rupununi and Berbice back dams.
- Culinary Use: In Guyanese cuisine, it is a very popular and delicious fish, often prepared in a spicy curry with ingredients like drumstick tree leaves (“saijan”) and mango.
- Flavor Profile: Hassar is known for having a very mild, non-fishy taste and an excellent, boneless texture when cooked, with some comparing its taste to grilled lobster or chicken.
- Appearance: It is known for its hard, armor-like scales.
“Savannah” Connection
The term “Savannah” in the user query likely refers to the regions where these fish are caught, such as the Kukrit Savannah in Guyana. In the context of fishing in the US state of Georgia, the Savannah River is known for species like redfish, speckled trout, and various types of bass and perch, not hassar catfish.Â
