Ilish and the Gluten Free Diet
Ilish, also known as Hilsa, is a species of fish that is highly regarded in South Asian culinary traditions, particularly in Bangladesh, West Bengal, and Odisha. It is known for its rich flavor and delicate texture. Ilish is typically found in the rivers of the Bay of Bengal and is an anadromous fish, meaning it migrates from the sea to freshwater rivers to spawn. It is often cooked in various traditional dishes, including curries and is highly prized during festive occasions.
