Fried seafood, muddy crab and more to satisfy your taste buds at Patenga Sea Beach in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Bangladesh shares a common Bengali culture, language and history with its neighbours in the nearby Indian state of West Bengal. This shared culture also carries over to its food – many dishes are shared across borders and are commonly referred to as Bengali cuisine. Bangladeshi cuisine is decidedly South Asian in nature. However, it's unique in its abundant use of fish and its employment of a variety of often fiery pastes made from ground roots, spices and chillies. Bangladesh is a country of rivers so perhaps it’s no surprise that fish is a staple of Bangladeshi food.
