Available Cutting & Cleaning Options

Choose your preferred preparation style for the box:

• Whole (Uncleaned, Uncut): Whole fish without cleaning or cutting, ideal for customers who prefer to prepare the fish themselves or store it in the freezer.

• Whole (Cleaned, but Not Cut): Each fish is cleaned but kept whole, without being cut into pieces. The final box weight will be lower than the original whole-fish weight.

• Cut into Regular Steaks (Not Scaled): Fish cut into regular steak-style pieces without scaling. This option generally results in a smaller reduction in weight compared with more extensive cleaning options.

• Cleaned & Cut into Regular Steaks – Bangla Cut (Ready to Cook): Fish prepared in the traditional Bengali cutting style, cleaned and cut for convenient cooking. The final box weight will decrease after cleaning and removing non-edible parts.

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 the 20–22 whole fish before cleaning or cutting.

• Weight per Fish: Each fish weighs 800 gm or more in its whole, unprocessed condition.

• 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 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 20–22 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. 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.
