Hilsa meaning
Please refer : Complete fish list
https://soulsdelight.blogspot.com/2009/09/no-more-confusion-over-fish-names.html
Hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha) is a kind of Indian herring - used to be abundant in the waters along the Bay of Bengal. Hilsa swim from the Bay of Bengal to the rivers to spawn.A sumptuous Bengali feast is incomplete without the hilsa, its so popular and a favourite to bengalis similar to mathi, chala to malayalis
In malayalam hilsa is known as Paluva. One of the Costliest and most in demand fish in the World also known as Pulasa fish in Tamil and telugu. The hilsa fish swims against the tide from Bay of Bengal to Godavari in Andhrapradesh. The flavour is bit different from the original hilsa. These fish caught in andhra are called Godavari Pulusa.
As it comes to fresh water from salt water it becomes more tastier and they call this pulasa It is the national fish of Bangladesh.
Ilish has its own flavour, the flavour carrying the freshness of the open sea comes from the fatty acids in the fish. watch how the bengalis cook the fish in mustard oil, green chillis, turmeric i.e light spieces and make the flavours stand out.
Thanks ...
