Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina shared a recipe to soften fish bones.
On Sunday (July 24) celebrating ‘National Fisheries Week-2022’ and awarding ‘National Fisheries Medal-2022’ (virtual), the Prime Minister said, ‘Fish bone are a problem.
Some people avoid eating fish as they find it hard to debone but the fish bones can be softened enough for human consumption. “It’s not difficult and people can do it at home.”
She shared a recipe to cook fish using a pressure cooker and soften the bones. “You can boil the fish for 1 hour and 10 minutes and the bones will be softened. You can even feed the fish to children following this recipe,” she said.
PM hoped the new generation will come forward in fish farming and will create more employment opportunities. “It will meet the local demand and the country will be able to export more products,” she said.
Hasina also recommended restrictions on the netting of baby prawns in the seawater in Cox’s Bazar and Kuakata and setting up more prawn hatcheries there.
Sheikh Hasina stressed the need for establishing food and fish producing industries in the 100 economic zones being set up across the country.
She also urged the young generation to join hands to establish the industries to help generate employment and increase the number of export items and foreign exchange earnings.
