It is:
- Smoky
- Spicy
- Song-inducing (it will make you sing!)
- Succulent
Then one evening I visited a friend and in a few minutes, just like magic, she had made some delicious grilled fish. I asked her how she did it and she said she "grilled" right on her gas cooker (stovetop). The thing is I could not even tell the difference between her fish and the "real deal" made on charcoal. This was totally cool so I started making my fish in a skillet or oven tray on the stovetop. Oh man, best decision of ma laif!

Lol, you know that tongue twister too?
Grilled fish is my fave way to eat fish. Unbeatable!
Ah,Precious. This is why I love you. I always learn something new from you. I didn't know I could grill over a stove. I'm concerned about the fumes though but will try it out. As for the Mackerel, that's my fave fish (bole and fish addict!). http://www.bubusboulevard.com
Awww I love you too, Bubu.
Is Bole grilled plantain? I love it!
Thnx gurl i just learned how to roast fish today via ur recipe . Dat was perfect n simple
Thanks for coming back to let me know!
Awesome recipe, I never knew this could be done on a stove-top, and I will have to try it very soon. I really enjoyed the video too, including the soundtrack from the girls and the smoke alarm. Thanks for welcoming us into your kitchen and showing us how you create memorable meals. I'm learning a lot!
Thanks for watching, dear.
To know that you are learning a lot just warms my heart.
Have a great week!
Nice, keep up the good job.
Do you know where I can get Njangsa in Lagos?
Hi Madame, sorry I have no idea where you can get Njangsa in Lagos. You could equally make sauce for fish without it and it will taste great!
Hi Precious,
I'm in Washington, DC, and I have the same question. I suppose I could try the international markets here. Is there a substitute that you can recommend, or do you think it's better to do without if I can't find it?
Thank you for this recipe!! My husband is Cameroonian so I thought I should make an effort to try to make some Cameroonian food for him. He absolutely loved this dish and so did I! I felt like being in Cameroon for a moment. Do you have any plans for adding a recipe for bobolo? I would love to learn how to make them.
I've also tried your chicken DG and pepper sauce recipes, so delicious! Can't wait to try some of your other recipes as everything I've tried has turned out amazing 🙂
Hi Jennie! Thanks so much for the feedback! So glad to hear of your success with the recipes. How sweet of you to learn how to make Cameroonian food!
I will eventually add a recipe for bobolo. I'm working on that.
Thanks Jennie!
I Cant's keep calm cause I tried this today even though it didn't cm out well but the test was breath taking
My sauce keeps coming out of the blender bitter. Why?
Linda, I have no idea why that's happening. With my combination of spices, there should be no bitter taste in there.
wow! thanks so much precious I was so enthralled with your recipe its indeed the best for roasted fish . I got it all right and perfect thank you.
