Fish loving Bangladeshis love the Hilsa fish (ilish) so much that we have it is their national fish. Bangladeshis the claim that Hilsa can be cooked in a 100 different ways. This recipe is one of my all time favorites. The best Hilsa comes from the Padma river (as the Ganges is called in Bangladesh).
