Fried fish is such an important staple in Ghanaian dishes. Popular sides for fried fish in Ghana are kenkey, banku and waakye. Here’s how I make mine:

*I fried 4 pieces of fish at a time and used an 8-inch nonstick frying pan.

1 &1/2 teaspoons sea salt
16 pieces of fish parts (not boneless or skinless), scales removed
1&1/2 cups vegetable oil (add more if you’re using a bigger frying pan)

1. Season the fish with salt and fry in hot oil in a frying pan on high heat.
2. Just flip the fish when it looks crispy and light brown on both sides. It took me about 15 minutes to fry one side and 10 minutes on the other side.

My 5 year old camera literally broke down just a few weeks ago and I’ve been so distraught. It is my second camera in the 8 years since I started this food blog in late 2018. It was a Canon 6D Mark II camera which replaced my starter Canon Rebel camera…which also stopped working like after 3 years.

Anyway for here’s one of my fave BTS shots: a dragonfruit mint julep whiles I was decorating it. The final picture and full recipe is in The Cocktail Pit book; Amazon link is here: amazon.com/Cocktail-Pit-Vibrant-Cocktails-Occasion-ebook/dp/B098MY2Q5Y?ref_=ast_author_dp_aw&th=1&psc=1&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qoUAELBcRH3koPq4ZnVHqj4QaU5KlikkKGozT4meXZ8.wysWWZkfu9fNJvB8TaFxzxWee63jA45S-MZOaTiQVoA&dib_tag=AUTHOR
