How to make “Nigerian Peppered Fish”: an easy fish recipe

Step 1: Choose and clean the fish with lemon

To start you have to choose a good fish and clean it well . For the recipe I chose a goldfish that I like, but I'm not sure what it is called in French. But otherwise I heard that there are some fish that are good for frying.

 Here are some: 

• CROCKER FISH
• Bar
• Mackerel
• Titus

It's up to you to see what you like 🤗. 

Step 2: Make the marinade 

If you have time in front of you, you can marinate the fish a few hours before or the day before . If you don't have one, you can skip this stage of “leaving a marinade”. It's okay! Myself for this recipe, I haven't let a marinate and it was still so good

For fish that have a strong smell, little tip: use lemon to clean and also to do your marinade . Lemon helps absorb the smell. So here I used 1 lemon, which I divided in 2. One part was for the marinade and the other for cleaning

Step 3: Grilling Legumes in the oven

Cut the vegetables then grill in the oven before crushing. This step saves time because the amount of water contained in the vegetables dries up. Here, no need for tomatoes . Just a lot of red pepper, onions and chili . It is also the red peppers that bring this color. The recipe with all the details is as usual at the end of the article!

How long to fry the fish

The duration necessary to fry the fish depends on the thickness of the fish. Sometimes you have to fry for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, to repeat if necessary.

With what to serve this sauce 

You can accompany this recipe with: 

• fries (plantains, apple fries)
• Or simply with rice, 
• With steamed tubers like Plantains, yam
• Or even the attiéké why not 😊
