Many people believe fish should be avoided during monsoon because it becomes ‘unsafe.’ The reality is a little more nuanced. When the fish is properly handled and fresh, it is generally safer to eat it throughout the year. However, like everything else, the Monsoon season does bring challenges like humidity, rough seas and interruptions in transport. All of these issues significantly increase the risk of spoilage if the seafood isn’t properly stored or transported. The bigger reason behind avoiding certain fish during this season is that there is conservation. Monsoon is the season fishes breed to reproduce and this helps the juvenile fish to grow allowing a healthy marine ecosystem and supporting the fishing communities in the long run.
