I was conversing with a pregnant friend a few weeks back when she mentioned that she was wanting fish roll and wanted to make some.
Suddenly, I had a strong desire for Nigerian fish roll.
Despite the fact that I frequently prepare exquisite chicken and beef rolls, I had never tried Nigerian fish roll before, so I decided to give it a try.
I researched for a guide on YouTube and Google, but there isn't nearly as much content on Nigerian fish pie as there is on meat pie (Yes, emphasis on Nigerian).
The good news is that the step is similar; the only change is the filling.
So, armed with my meat pie knowledge and the minimal information I could find on the internet, I created the most delectable Nigerian fish pie I'd ever tasted.
I'm not kidding.
It was confirmed by my mother as well.
I prepared fish pie for the first time tgjs morning. It was so good that I felt it would be a sin not to share the recipe with you today.
So, without further ado, I'll give you the Nigerian fish roll recipe so you may try it and witness for yourself.
