Apanjan – The Crown Jewel of Kolkata’s Fish Fry Scene If Kolkata had a Hall of Fame for legendary street food joints, Apanjan would secure its spot without breaking a sweat. Tucked away near Kalighat Metro Station (Gate No. 1), this little eatery is a pilgrimage spot for fish lovers, especially those who worship the holy grail of authentic Bhetki fish fry. Getting There – A Fish Lover’s Shortcut to Happiness Finding Apanjan is as easy as finding a Bengali debating over "rosogolla vs. Misti Doi" —just walk a minute from Kalighat Metro Gate no. 1 or let Google Maps be your guiding star. But be warned: once you’re close, the aroma of golden-brown fried goodness will pull you in faster than a Bengali spotting an off-season hilsa! #### The Star of the Show – Bhetki Fish Fry Apanjan doesn't just serve fish fry; they elevate it to an art form. And guess what? They offer it in three sizes—Small, Medium, and Large —because why should happiness come in one size? Naturally, I went for the Large Fish Fry (because why hold back? And obviously size matters ), and oh boy, what a beauty! A thick, juicy Bhetki fillet coated in a crispy golden breadcrumb crust, served with a lone but noble potato wedge —probably the most underrated sidekick in culinary history. The first bite? A symphony of crunch and succulent fish melting together, proving once again why Apanjan’s fish fry is considered one of the best in Kolkata. #### Pro Tip: Catch the Fish Kachori Before It Disappears! If you’re dreaming of tasting their famous Fish Kachori, arrive before 4 PM or prepare for heartbreak. This delicacy has the tendency to vanish faster than a cricket ball hit by Sourav Ganguly in Eden Gardens. Sadly, I missed it this time, but there’s always a next visit (or ten!). #### Premium Taste, Premium Price - Here’s the thing: great food comes at a price. Apanjan isn’t cheap, but neither is the quality. So, if you’re expecting budget bites, adjust your expectations. But trust me, every penny spent here is a penny well-invested in pure gastronomic joy. #### Final Verdict – A Timeless Classic Despite its small size, Apanjan delivers big on flavors. The shop is always crowded, especially in the evenings, but their service is swift and efficient. I’ve been here multiple times, and their fish fry has never disappointed. One day, I plan to taste everything on their menu—but for now, my love affair with their fish fry continues. So, if you haven’t been to Apanjan yet, drop everything and go. Because in Kolkata, when it comes to fish fry, this place is as legendary as Satyajit Ray’s cinema and East Bengal - Mohun Bagan’s football legacy!
