Product Specifications

Why the "Ice Block" Method?

Preparation & Thawing

Pro Tip: Never microwave or use hot water to thaw Hilsa. The high oil content makes it sensitive to heat, and improper thawing can ruin the texture.

1. Slow Thaw (Recommended): Place the ice block in the refrigerator for 6–8 hours.

2. Quick Thaw: Keep the sealed pack under cool running water until the ice melts away.

3. Cooking: Since it is "Ready-to-Cook," you can move straight to marinating with turmeric and salt once thawed.
