The�paal sura fish or milk shark�is not consumed all over the country, but it is well-loved in Tamil Nadu. According to folklore in Tamil Nadu, the consumption of milk sharks can help cure a common cold and cough and help mothers with lactation. Milk shark meat is delicate, soft, chewy, and flavourful and has a flaky texture that dissolves in the mouth. Milk sharks are seawater fish that can be found in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific regions.
