‘Fish is a very healthy source of nutrition,’. ‘It contains high-quality protein and unsaturated fats (also known as Omega-3 fatty acids) which help prevent heart disease, arthritis and inflammatory, diseases.’ The quality of protein found in fish is superior to most foods. ‘But to make sure that environmental contaminants in fish pose no danger to you, stick to deep, cold-water fish and go for larger varieties’, she says.

Common local varieties-include hilsa, singhara, katla, puruva, and seer.
