Who else loves catfish

Growing up in the southern part of #Nigeria has made me a lover of seafood. None of my dish is actually complete without a trace of sea-food. Often taking a stroll by the river-side awaiting fishermen to come to the bank of the river with different varieties of seafood especially fishes. Actually unlike those who lives upland where they only have assess to frozen fishes and dried fishes, where i come from you can actually see and feel a lot of creepy animals coming from the sea. But amongst all of those fishes Catfish has stood out for me in all seasons. My love for catfish has no bounds. Catfish has been the best friend i have known. When i encounter a huge loss or i get excited i settle down for a plate of catfish. No one can take the place of catfish on my menu list.

I am not alone in this because it has actually earned Catfish a place in every common Restaurant. It has also been named nicknamed point and kill in Nigeria.

So for my favourite catfish peppersoup dish here's what you will

Catfish
Scentleaf sold in the local nigerian market
Pepper, i normally use black pepper
Calabash nutmeg popularly known as ehuru in local nigerian language
Salt
Stock cubes.

My own method of preparing Catfish peppersoup

First i wash my catfish and remove the galls with warm water, then i marinate my fish with some salt,black pepper and one stock cube and set aside for 20-30 minutes. To make my cooking easier i buy grounded ehuru from the market to ease the stress of processing it.

Next i set my pot on fire with about two cups of water to boil. Once it boils i add my ehuru,black pepper and two cubes of stock cubes. Then i leave it boiling for 5 minutes and then add the marinated fish. Leave it to boil for ten minutes. Then i add the scent leaf and leave for two minutes. My point and kill peppersoup is set.

For my favourite catfish i use a glass of red wine to push it down
