Cox's Bazar, named after British East India Company officer Captain Hiram Cox, is a port city known for having the world's longest natural sea beach. Its history is richly tied to various cultural influences, including the Rakhine state of Myanmar, which is reflected in its local cuisine. The locality is renowned for its fresh seafood due to its coastal position and fishing being a staple part as the livelihood for many locals. The traditional cooking here often combines the rich flavors of South Asian spices with fresh fish, creating a distinct taste that's unique to the Bengali coastal region.
