Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Hilsa fresh or frozen?

Always fresh — sourced same-day and kept on ice through our cold chain until delivery.

Why is Hilsa more expensive than other fish?

Hilsa can't be farmed — every piece is wild-caught, and demand spikes hard during festival season, which keeps prices firm.

Does Hilsa have a lot of bones?

Yes — Hilsa is known for fine, hair-like bones throughout the flesh. Take care when serving to children.

How should I store it after delivery?

Refrigerate immediately if cooking within a day, or freeze right away to lock in freshness for longer.
