Titas and Haor Fish
তিতাস ও হাওরের মাছ
Fresh river and wetland fish from the Titas and Meghna, cooked simply in light, home-style curries.
Brahmanbaria's rivers and haor wetlands supply a steady catch of freshwater fish such as rui, boal, ayre, pabda and small mixed fish. Local cooks favour light jhol curries with potato or seasonal vegetables, and crisp fried small fish with rice. The best place to taste it is at modest hotels near the river ghats and bazars.
