Hilsa Fish

Hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha), also known as Ilish, is a prized fish in South Asia, particularly in Bangladesh and India. Belonging to the herring family, it is renowned for its unique flavor and soft, oily flesh. (Wikipedia)

Predominantly found in the rivers and estuaries of the Bay of Bengal, Hilsa migrates upstream during the breeding season, making it a seasonal delicacy. Its high omega-3 fatty acid content contributes to its rich taste and nutritional value.

Hilsa is traditionally prepared in mustard-based curries, steamed in banana leaves, or fried, each method enhancing its distinctive flavor.
