A retail hilsa fish seller holds a fish weighing 2500 grams, charging Tk 1650 per kg. This year, even though a significant amount of hilsa fish has fallen, the price has risen in the market. Photo taken from the capital's Karwan Bazar, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Bangladesh has three kinds of Hilsa. The most famous species which we call Padma Ilish is called Tenualosa Hilsa is widely found in Bangladesh from the Bay of Bengal to our rivers. They are the tastiest of all hilsas – rich in fat and flavor. The fish has a wide geographical distribution. But about 60 percent of the fish is caught in Bangladesh amounting to lakh metric tons last year. About 20 percent of the population is caught in Myanmar and 15 percent in India. The rest are found in Oman, Pakistan and Bahrain.
