The Hilsa fish (Ilish) is more than just food in Bangladesh — it's a cultural icon. Declared the national fish of Bangladesh, Hilsa accounts for about 12% of the country's total fish production.
During the monsoon season, Hilsa migrates from the sea to the rivers to spawn, and this is when it's at its most flavourful. At Kashmira, we source our Hilsa fresh daily and prepare it in the traditional mustard sauce that brings out its natural richness.
