As I am Bengali ,I definitely love to eat fishes,But I am not among those people for whom fish and rice occupy the topmost priorities in food.I dont like the strong smell of the sea fishes,so I generally go for fish fillets which can be marinated and can absorb the flavors of the spices and herbs well.
