Hi Queen, do you have some ideas, but feel they are not enough?

Thanks for responding so fast.. I have no idea what to make,I know I'm a fast learner when it comes to stuffs…
I'll wait for your idea and that of your readers as well.

Eya, i av bin trying to comment on this blog to no avail. I love cooking n i enjoy what you are doing here! And the way you respond to everyone is awesome. However, i noticed that you didnt add pepper to d fisherman soup, is that d proper way? Without pepper? Thanks for doing a good job!
Thanks for that observation. It was an over sight, while typing may be. I added pepper with oil and seasoning. Will include it now.
Thanks Shayor.
Thumbs up Eya…nice blog. Came here through LIB, u are doing well here
So it was d baby boy dat was kicking that didn't allow you to reply comments.I now love your blog more.I know you answer promptly if I have any question.
Ok cool..enjoy the rest of the day. Looking forward to more exciting delicacies esp south south soups…lol.
I just have a few questionsa…
What part of the country consumes the fisherman soup majorly? Must it always be cooked without meat? Does it change its unique fisherman stewtaste if meat is added?
Quite an interesting dish.
Thanks for sharing Eya!
Enhen, pls before I forget, why is it that when I try your white soup recipe it never thickens after the pounded yam is added? Is there any special system to it? Thanks
Usually riverine areas in cross river, aka ibom and other places in the south south.
U cud use flour too…mix it with water…it shud be very thick. Pour inside.
When u add d pounded yam. Don't just throw it in, after sometime u stir it so it wil thicken d soup more. Nice recipe Aunty eya just reminds me of my ofe nsala
Nice one, but since this is fisherman some is it not wish to add sea foods like pereeinkle, prawns, oyster etc
Nice one, but since this is fisherman some is it not wise to add sea foods like perewinkle, prawns, oyster etc
It w'd be great to add them!!!
Thank God….. May God bless you. very lovely blog i must say.
Always wanted to make fisherman soup but dint know how to go about it. Ive copied oda recipes too. Im inspired.
Thanks
Hi Queen, what you are planning to do is good. However, selling snacks to private schools? have you done your market survey yet.
I want to like, make some suggestions, but, I am also thinking that private schools have restaurants and fast food joints that provide food regularly for their school children.
Thanks Myne!
Thank you jummie!
@ Anon, thanks for the explanation.
OK Billie Jean, let's keep checking. I pray some one helps us out with the recipes!
Thanks Ola baby! You are not alone, I also get bored quickly. I need varieties to keep me interested in food.
It is just excess hot leaf I bought, and I had to dry in the oven to preserve it. It just came in handy here. Lol!
God willing, no problem at all. They'll keep coming.
Thanks Dear! please com back o.
Hi Afronuts, I think all parts of Nigeria consume The fisherman soup, even though fish is got from riverine areas. YOu can make white soup with meat if that is what you like. That recipe is also on this blog. LOL!
Thanks Lilien! I feel like bookmarking is easier than copying. Thanks for the comment.
How do you bookmark pls?? I am somewhat techie-challenged….
Eya, good afternoon, I went to a wedding on saturday and was served Fisherman's soup for the first time…and I totally loved it…so I went online and searched 4 d recipe, that's how I came across your blog. I thought the thickener was Achi, can I use something else apart from the yam water and pounded yam balls as a thickener? Thanks
