Important Notes About Hilsha Fish

• Weight Variation: Each whole fish weighs between 500–800 gm, and each pack contains 3 whole fish with a combined weight of approximately 4 lb. Actual total weight may vary depending on the fish supplied by the importer or supplier. The weight refers to the whole fish before cleaning and cutting; the final weight will be lower after preparation.

• Natural Reddish or Darker Color: With the cleaned and cut option, some fish pieces may appear slightly reddish or darker upon arrival due to the natural blood content of Hilsha. We do not wash away the blood during preparation to help preserve the fish's characteristic taste. Simply wash the fish before cooking; its appearance will change during cooking.

• Freshness and Storage: For the best taste and quality, we recommend consuming cut Hilsha reasonably soon, preferably within a month after cutting, while following proper refrigeration or freezing and food-storage practices.

Vacuum-Sealed Packaging

The fish is packed in vacuum-sealed packaging to help maintain its flavor and quality during storage. Keep refrigerated or frozen as appropriate for the product's condition upon arrival.
