Bangladesh is fourth largest inland freshwater fish producer: Fisheries minister

Grilled Bhetki (snapper) or Pomfret are the best along with beeer...

Yes, but most restaurants and pubs serve Bhola Bhetki instead of the pricier real Bhetki.

You guys are making me hungry!!

Back in the day I remember when I visited Cox's Bazaar (it was less of a Bazaar than it is now ), we'd order grilled/fried silver pomfret fresh off of the day's catch (yes it was maybe an hour old) at the beach-side restaurants and marvel at its taste. Incomparable. And scarce little of any bones either.

They don't call this a butterfish for nothing. Frozen just doesn't have the same taste nowadays...

On a separate note - I don't know if you guys know that Bangladesh's very own common inland fish Lal Kholisa (Colisa Lalia is the scientific name) is a prized aquarium fish everywhere. It is also known as a dwarf Gourami.
