On the trail of hilsa in the Bay of Bengal
Aug 16, 2025, at 05:52 pm
Shorshe ilish (mustard hilsa), the rich, pungent, and deeply aromatic cuts of hilsa simmered in mustard sauce, is a classic Bengali dish. But the story from the sea (or river) to the lip-smacking plate begins with the fishermen venturing out with their nets to catch this migratory fish (it migrates to coastal areas and estuaries of the northern Bay of Bengal during the southwest monsoon). IBNS lensman Rupak De Chowdhuri captures the moments of catching hilsa in the Bay of Bengal near disappearing climate change hit Ghoramara Island, nearly 80 km south of Kolkata. Revered across South Asia, the hilsa is prized for its rich flavour and cultural significance, especially during the monsoon season.
