My 7 Favorite Nigerian Seafood Recipes by Speak2klein: 1:46pm On Feb 19, 2018 |
So a few weeks ago, a lady called me as usual to order for seafood. She asked what kinds of seafood I had and I gave her my list including prawns, calamari, lobsters et al. The only problem was that she didn't quite know what exactly she could make with this, and I believe a lot of Nigerians have this same challenge. We love seafood, yes, but oya what do we cook it withor how do we even make? In fact, beyond prawns, people don't even know what to use other seafood like calamari and lobsters for. In that light I will be sharing 7 of my favorite seafood delicacies and their recipes. Stay glued and please share yours too. Meanwhile don't forget to call me or send me a whatsapp chat via 09091772274 if you need seafood

Preparation: Firstly, properly scrub and clean the crab claws if you’re using any as the shells harbour all sorts of dirt. I scrubbed mine with a little kitchen brush. also, remember to devien your prawns and clean them up. Then, marinate all the seafood and fish. To marinate the crab claws, crack the shells in one of two places, this is so the marinade can penetrate into the meat… Then mix some seasoning with salt and garlic powder, rub the seafood with this and chuck in the fridge overnight. Do the same with the fish but mix with a little bit of olive oil as well, and toss in the fridge overnight… This is quite necessary if you’re cooking Tilapia, Tilapia is quite a bland and almost naturally tasteless. |

cook, blend the Tatashe, 2 Rodo and 1/2 of the Onion till smooth and set aside. Wash the Okra thoroughly, blend or grate 1/4 of the Okra roughly and chop the rest a bit chunky (Blend the entire Okra roughly if you don’t fancy chewy Okra soup) also chop 1 Atarodo and set aside…

Get a big size pot, set on a hob on medium heat, add the chopped onions, sauté till fragrant. Then add the locust beans and 1 tablespoon crayfish, sauté for a minute

Get another pot, add 3 cups of water, chopped onions, add salt, garlic powder and your other seasoning, bring to a rolling boil , throw in the Stockfish and cook for 5 minutes or until the Stockfish become slightly tender, by then it would have released some flavour into the stock. Taste your stock as it needs to be well seasoned, if you haven’t got chicken or beef stock available, you’ll be using the stock later. Nothing beats the flavour of stockfish in soups… 1 Like

When it’s tender, add the crab claws and cook for 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, add the rest of the seafood and crayfish, cook for 5 minutes.

boiling here, I took the pot off the heat to take the photo as the steam was interfering with the picture quality… After 3 minutes, pour the cooked seafood into a colander and set the stock aside. When the pepper has fried and oil has settled on the top as pictured below: 1 Like
