Although Hilsha is the National fish of Bangladesh but doesn’t just stop there, the taste of this majestic fish formed a deep connection with the heart of the Bangla population. Fried Hilsa pieces with rice and crisp green chilies are traditional elements of Pohela Boishakh festivities. Bangalis have been debating Hilsa for decades, demonstrating how emotionally attached we are to our cuisine, particularly Hilsa. Hilsa reminds people of the sound of constant rain, which is the ideal setting for eating hot ilish right out of the pan. Even the rain is aptly named “ilshe-guri”. Going out to PROJECT HILSHA with friends & family is a rite of passage for all Bangladeshi Food fanatics.

Fame of hilsa fish already crossed the borders many years back and spaced a magical love in India, now its time to let rest of the world know and share the taste of our Heritage with International Standard.
