Growing up, I never really saw this fish in Port Harcourt, and I had never tasted it either. But because I LOVE fish, and this particular fish is practically on display everywhere in the market where I live, I decided to explore every fish I could find as part of my healthy weight-loss journey. ๐๐
This fish is ridiculously cheap and quite small, so I made it just for myself because of its army of tiny bones. The kind of bones that make you sit down, concentrate and remember all your sins before eating. ๐ Even an adult cannot afford to eat this fish carelessly!
But let me tell you somethingโฆ I seasoned this one properly and, OMO! It tasted phenomenal. I have my ways with fish, and this one was GOOD! In all the fish I have explored during this weight-loss journey, none has tasted this good.
Then I started wondering: Why is this delicious thing so cheap?
The answer? THE BONES.
Because of those tiny bones, I won't even allow anyone around me to eat it. We are not trying to turn a healthy meal into a hospital appointment. ๐ I eat it myself because it's too sweet, and I deliberately don't tell my family how delicious it is because the moment they discover it, they will finish my fish and leave me with the bones.
Have you tried this fish before? What was your experience? ๐๐
