Bangladesh has intensified its crackdown on the transportation of hilsa to neighbouring India .

Hilsa is Bangladesh 's national fish but it is a luxury, affordable only for the rich and middle class.

This stand marks a clear departure from deposed former prime minister Sheikh Hasina 's renowned "hilsa diplomacy" with India .

“I think its enduring role as an icon of Bengali food is a combination of many elements, not the least being its physical beauty, which has led Bengali writers to describe it as the darling of the waters or a prince among fish,” she told an interviewer. "And its tender flesh (bony though it may be), combined with an emollient texture and exquisite flavour, lends itself to an infinite variety of culinary preparations.".
