Cooking steps for HOW TO COOK FISH STEW IN NIGERIA
- Steam the fish separately with just salt and onion.
- Make your light Nigerian tomato stew in a bigger pot. To make normal Nigerian stew, you blend and fry your onion, peppers, and tomatoes, with little garlic and ginger, then add the stock and let it cook done. Simple.
- Add the fish stock to stew and cook. When the stew is ready, drop the cooked fish in, one after the other, OR just empty the red stew into the fish pot to avoid moving and breaking the already cooked fish.
Allow to simmer for a few minutes, taste and adjust if salt is needed… your Nigerian fish stew is ready, smile and turn off the heat. We have other fish stew recipes on the blog as well. - Serve fish stew with boiled rice, bread, boiled beans, boiled Irish potatoes, plantain, or yam.
- Enjoy!

Does this work for melusa(fresh stock fish) fish too? Cause that fish can be so tasteless. And it breaks easily.
yes it works for any fish.
Yes, it works for any fresh fish. You may want to add crayfish for taste if you cook with melusa, kpanla or any other fish that has no taste.
I need this now, this stew looks absolutely delish!
Thanks.
Aunty Eya, good morning. Please what's the name of this fish and can you suggest where I can find it in Abuja.

Hi, good morning Olamide. Ask any fish seller for croaker. If you are shopping at the supermarket, go to frozen foods, fish section, croaker is written on it.
If it's not cleaned, you have to remove all the scales before cooking. There are so many specie of croaker sha, some may not have scales.
