Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fish have a lot of bones?
Yes! Hilsha is naturally characterized by having many fine, intramuscular bones. However, true seafood lovers and South Asian food connoisseurs universally agree that its spectacular, completely unmatched flavor makes the careful eating experience an absolute joy and entirely worth the effort!
How should I thaw this whole fish?
For the absolute best, restaurant-quality texture and flavor retention, always thaw the fish gently! Simply transfer it from the freezer to your refrigerator and let it thaw slowly overnight. Never use a microwave or hot water, as this will instantly ruin the delicate, buttery meat.
Is the fish shipped cleaned or whole?
To preserve the absolute maximum flavor, delicate texture, and essential natural oils that make this fish so highly prized, it is flash-frozen and shipped completely whole and intact.
