Though I belong to the Southern part of India, I first tasted the Bengali Fish Curry Recipe at my friend’s place. He is a Bengali, and his Mom is an excellent cook. All moms have magical cooking skills; it’s a famous seafood recipe—a delicious Bengali fish curry recipe from my kitchen.

That was the first time when I tasted Rohu fish. Though I always prefer seawater fish, there is a way of making and choosing freshwater fish, and if you can do it well, it tastes delicious.

Rohu fish plays an integral part in Bengali cuisine and culture, so that we will make this fish curry with Rohu fish.
