Tangra is a sweet water fish . It is one of the tasty fish . We find this fish in river , lake, canal , ponds . Available on every fish market and super shop  . Its not have any scale that’s why easy to clean . Batasio or Mystus tengara or Macrones vittalus is the scientific name of Tangra /Tyangra fish .

Cooking with mustard seed is the tradition of Bengali nation from ancient period . Bengali people like to eat fish for their every meal . For celebrating any occasion fish take a major part of the food menu .  Shorshe Ilish is one of the traditional food of Bangladesh . Some peoples are afraid to eat hilsha fish because of huge amount of bone have in this hilsha fish .  I recommend shorshe tangra to that’s people who are don’t like any  bone fish . Shorshe Tangra is so much easy to cook because no need to fry the fish before cooking .
