If you want the taste of Hilsa minus the bones with the same cooking pattern then I have some other alternative fish for you. It is knows in Odia as "Khainga" (Zoological name is "Mullet sp.").

Whisky on the rocks ka potu kyon lagaye ho machli ke disussion me?

Mata phodi kyun kar rahe ho?

rohu n hilsa seriously

 

[Indrani]

lol..no no. rohu/ katla are strong fishes..strong fibrous texture...good stong scale formation...hilsa is a delicate fish..softer creamier flesh, very tasty stuff if u r into it..

otoh, they are catching hilsas early this year...i found so much eggs..less hilsa later..

halupridol, i have no idea about prices though..

Oh okay. We make fish only on Wednesdays in my house. That is how I keep track of days of the week. LOL. Mostly, we make surmai, halva, pomfrets, bangda, tarli, rohu, and rani. Usually 2 of those kind on Wednesday, one for fry and another for curry.

Hell, I don't know if I have seen a Hilsa. Mom tends to buy the tender fishes, so do not know why she has never cooked it. Perhaps it is not available here in the market.
