Product Description:
Meni Fish (Nandus nandus)—locally known as মেনি মাছ—is a highly valued freshwater fish native to the rivers, ponds, and wetlands of Bangladesh and the Gangetic plains. This fish is known for its delicate, white flesh, low bone content, and distinct earthy flavor.

Its body resembles a dried leaf, giving rise to the name “Leaffish.” Meni is often regarded as a traditional delicacy, especially in rural Bengali cuisine, and is believed to have medicinal value in postpartum diets or for boosting strength.

Popular Preparations:
• Meni Jhol (light fish stew with bottle gourd or ash gourd)
• Meni Bhuna (spiced semi-dry preparation)
• Meni Diye Shak (with spinach or lau shak)
• Postpartum meals for recovery and nutrition
