About Ilish fish

Ilish fish, also known as Hilsa, is a nutrient-rich freshwater fish prized in South Asian cuisine, particularly in Bengali, Odia, and Assamese traditions. Its distinct flavor and tender texture make it a culinary delicacy, often prepared through steaming, frying, or cooking in mustard-based curries. Ilish is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart and brain health, along with proteins, essential vitamins like B12, and minerals such as selenium and zinc. Despite its health benefits, Ilish is notably high in fat, making moderation key for those monitoring calorie intake. Additionally, its fine bones require careful preparation and consumption. Often dubbed the “Queen of Fishes,” Ilish is not just a staple food but a cultural symbol in coastal and riverine regions of South Asia, blending taste with tradition.
