Photo courtesy Parch- the shutterbugI got this wonderful forward from my mashi, which had a list of all things Bengalee….A for awpheesh, and so forth. F as the title informs you, is for feesh.
If you are a lover of feesh in mushtaard oil, a visit to the seaside town of Digha is a must. Digha is a three hour bus ride from Kolkata, which I can tell you is as nothing, when you aada maro the entire way with fellow passengers. (Which is as certain as the fact that the sun will rise tomorrow morning, since a Bengalee loves to aada maro with friends and strangers alike)
It will seem that Digha arrives before you can say Jack Robinson, and once there, you can feast on all things to do with the sea- feesh, prawn, crab, the list is endless.
And if you are not a lover of feesh, you can carry a polythene bag, or a paper bag (if you’re into saving the environment for future generations, which by the way you ought to be), for the most amazing shells that are found all along the beach.
Be careful collecting the shells though. Some of them you will find have a mind of their own, and crawl away at your lightest touch.
