WHY BENGALESE LOVES HILSA FISH AND LOVE TO COOK HILSA FISH RECIPE?
If you ask any Bengali, he/she will tell you that its a must try Bengali dish. If you never tried Hilsa fish before you will not understand why actually Bengalese love Hilsa fish more than any other fish. This is not only love for a food, I believe it’s their respect for a rare fish. Bengalese cook Hilsa in many ways, but one thing you will get in any Hilsa fish recipe cooked by Bengalese is they always cook Hilsa fish from their heart and respect.
But some believe Bengalese cook Hilsa fish with so carefully because it’s expensive than other fish. Though this fish is expensive nowadays but was not expensive even last 10 years. We respect the fish because it’s rare to find in Just any season. This fish is available in the monsoon season only. In other seasons, you will never get any fresh Hilsa fish at the fish market.
Nowadays cold storage Hilsa fish available for the whole year but you will never get the best taste of Hilsa fish from a frozen Hilsa fish. So you must try this tasty fish at least once in your lifetime. I hope you will not disappointed by its taste.
