What is boroli fish and is it available in Siliguri?

Boroli is a small, delicate freshwater fish found in the Himalayan foothills of North Bengal. It's prized for its sweet, tender flesh and is considered a delicacy. Siliguri Fresh Mart sources Boroli from Teesta river markets when available — stock is seasonal and limited.

How to cook small fish like puthi and kachki?

The most popular way to cook small fish in Bengal is deep-frying. Marinate in turmeric and salt, then shallow fry until crispy. They're also delicious in light curries with potatoes, or steamed in banana leaves (paturi style). Order from Siliguri Fresh Mart and we'll clean them for you.

Are small fish cleaned before delivery?

Yes, we clean and gut small fish as per your preference. You can choose whole (uncleaned), gutted, or fully cleaned at checkout. Small fish are typically delivered whole — they're best cooked whole for maximum flavour.

Small Fish, Big Flavour — From North Bengal's Rivers

Small fish are a North Bengal specialty. Boroli (an endangered species of river fish found only in Himalayan foothills) is prized for its delicate flavour. Puthi, Kachki, and Tangra are staples in Bengali households — often fried whole with a dusting of turmeric and salt. We source these from Teesta and Mahananda river markets, where fishermen bring their catch fresh each morning. Each batch is sorted by size and quality before dispatch.
