Kolkata, famous for its vibrant cultural scene, hosts numerous festivals each year. Among them, Kolkata Fish Festivals stand out, highlighting the city’s profound love for seafood. These events not only display Kolkata’s culinary diversity but also provide a window into its rich traditions.

Celebrating the Hilsa: The Queen of Fish

Hilsa Festivals
As the monsoon arrives, Kolkata buzzes with excitement for the hilsa, known as the “Queen of Fishes.” The Hilsa fish Festivals, such as those held at Polo Floatel, highlight this revered fish with various preparations. From simple grilled hilsa to elaborate dishes in mustard sauce, these festivals celebrate the versatility and cultural significance of this prised catch.

Exploring Local Delights

  • Macher Chop (Bengali Fish Cutlets)

Macher chop, or Bengali fish cutlets, are a popular snack at Kolkata’s festive gatherings. These crispy treats blend fish, potatoes, and spices into a flavorful delight. The process involves sautéing onions, green chilies, ginger, and garlic, mixing in fish and spices, shaping into cutlets, and frying until golden brown. Served with kasundi (Bengali mustard sauce), they offer a delightful taste of Bengali street food.

  • Bhetki Fish Fry

Bhetki fish fry, a favorite street food, features crumb-coated fish fillets fried to perfection. This dish involves marinating fresh Bhetki fillets with lemon juice and spices, coating them with breadcrumbs, and deep-frying until crispy. It’s often enjoyed with ketchup or kasundi, making it a popular choice at local food festivals.

  • Fish Kabiraji Cutlet

Kabiraji cutlet, a unique Kolkata delicacy, is famous for its crispy, web-like batter. To prepare, you first coat cooked fish cutlets with a batter of beaten eggs, maida (plain flour), and cornstarch. Frying the cutlet creates a light, airy coating, making it an impressive dish often served in Kolkata’s café-style restaurants.

A Culinary Carnival

Citywide Celebrations
Kolkata’s love for fish extends beyond hilsa. Throughout the year, the city hosts food festivals and events celebrating a wide range of fish dishes. From local fairs showcasing freshwater varieties to gourmet seafood experiences at upscale venues, there’s something to satisfy every palate.
