Important Notes About Box Weight & Fish Quantity

• Whole-Fish Weight: The advertised box weight of approximately 38–40 lb refers to the combined weight of all  whole fish before cleaning or cutting.

• Weight per Fish: Each individual whole Hilsha fish weighs approximately 1000–1200 gm (2–2.2 lb) before processing.

• Final Weight After Preparation: If you select a cleaning or cutting option, the final packaged box weight will be lower than the original whole-fish weight. The weight reduction depends on the selected preparation style and the amount of scales and other non-edible parts removed and discarded during processing.

• Weight Reduction by Option: Whole (uncleaned and uncut) fish retain their original whole-fish weight. The not-scaled steak option generally has a smaller weight reduction, while the cleaned whole, ready-to-cook regular steak, and Bangla cut options may result in greater weight reduction.

• Fish Quantity: Each box contains 15-16 whole fish before processing. Cleaning or cutting changes the final weight, not the original number of fish supplied.

• Natural Color Variation: Cut Hilsha may appear slightly reddish or darker due to its natural blood content. This is normal. We do not wash away the blood during preparation to help preserve the fish's characteristic taste. Wash the fish before cooking.

• Packaging: Each fish is individually vacuum-sealed after the selected preparation is completed to help maintain freshness and quality during storage.
