Important Notes About Hilsha Fish

• Piece Count: The number of pieces may vary slightly depending on the size of the fish and the selected cutting style.

• Natural Reddish or Darker Appearance: With the Cut and Clean option, some fish steaks may appear slightly reddish or darker upon arrival. This is due to the natural blood content of Hilsha fish. We do not wash away the blood during preparation to help preserve the fish's characteristic taste. After washing and cooking, the fish will have its usual cooked appearance.

• Weight Variation: The listed weight refers to the weight of the whole fish before scaling & cutting. The final weight may vary after cutting and cleaning.

Packaging & Freshness

Each Hilsha fish is vacuum-sealed to help maintain freshness, flavor and quality during storage.
