Eating freshwater fish and crab dishes instantly transports me to the cherished memories of my childhood. It reminds me of the days spent with my father and brothers, embarking on exciting adventures to catch fishes from our local fields and small streams during the monsoons in the night. Despite being a small child of primary school, my family always included me in these expeditions, assigning me the important task of holding the light for them while they skillfully caught fish. It was a bonding experience, filled with laughter and the thrill of the hunt.
As we children ventured into the streams during the day to catch tiny fishes and crabs, the anticipation and excitement grew. I can still recall the joy of lifting stones and discovering crabs hidden beneath them. Armed with knives and sticks, we carefully caught these elusive creatures, adding to the sense of adventure. Once we returned home with our bountiful catch, my mother would take over, transforming the fresh crabs into mouthwatering crab fries for us kids. The aroma of the sizzling crab fry filling the air and the taste of the perfectly fried delicacies remind me of the love and care that went into preparing those meals for us kids.
These memories are particularly vivid during the monsoon season, when the streams swelled with water and the surrounding fields turned lush and green. Our fishing expeditions were a beloved hobby that brought us together as a family, creating lasting bonds and treasured moments. Every time I enjoy fresh water fish and crab dishes now, I am transported back to those carefree days of my childhood, filled with adventure, camaraderie, and the simple joy of savoring delicious food with loved ones.
