Fishermen leave Kolkata starved of hilsa

Monsoon has peaked, but the city still remains hilsa-starved this year. The prize catch of fish weighing a kilo and beyond has eluded us so far. Very few fishermen are bringing in hilsa supplies to the market and these are in the 350 grams to 500 grams range. Blame it on Covid and the weather, say fishermen, who go out to sea at this time of the year to bring in the silvery treasure.
