Mrigal is a freshwater Bengali fish that holds a special place in South Asian cuisine. Smaller than katla or rohu, it has a delicate sweetness and tender texture that make it perfect for lighter preparations where the fish flavour takes centre stage.

Our mrigal arrives cleaned and ready to cook. The flesh is soft and flaky, with a mild, sweet taste that works beautifully with subtle spicing. This is an authentic deshi fish that Hills Harvest stocks for the Bengali community in western Sydney.

Pan-fry with turmeric and a pinch of salt for a simple, satisfying meal with rice. Cook in a light jhol (thin curry) with nigella seeds, green chilli, and a touch of turmeric. Or prepare a mustard curry for a traditional Bengali dish that showcases the fish's delicate flavour.

Store refrigerated at 0-4 degrees Celsius and cook within 1-2 days of delivery. Mrigal is also available as frozen fish and can be stored for up to 2 months.
