If you’re looking for something special, why not try peppered fish? It’s definitely a dish that will wow your guests, and it’s not too difficult to make either.

All you need is some fresh fish fillets, olive oil, black pepper, and salt. You can either cook the fish in the oven or on the stovetop. If you’re cooking it in the oven, preheat it to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for about 10-12 minutes.

Another thing you need to know is that Nigerian food is known for being spicy and flavorful. If you’re looking to enjoy a taste of Nigeria without leaving your home, there are a few recipes you can try. One of the most popular Nigerian dishes is their party jollof rice.

This dish is made with rice, tomatoes, and spices. Another popular dish is egusi soup, which is made with ground melon seeds, vegetable soups, and meat or fish. If you’re looking for a snack, you can try akara, which is made with black-eyed peas and onions. Nigerian food is sure to spice up your next party!

If you’re cooking it on the stovetop, heat up some olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes per side.

If you’re looking for a delicious and spicy way to enjoy seafood, look no further because you are very right to be here. Peppered fish is your sure plug. This dish is popular in Nigeria but can be enjoyed anywhere. The key to making peppered fish is seasoning.

The peppers give the dish its heat and flavor, so it’s important to use a good quality pepper sauce. You can prepare peppered fish using any type of seafood you like. I typically use tilapia, but salmon or shrimp would work well too.

To start, season your seafood with some salt and pepper. Then, heat up some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the seafood to the pan and cook until it’s cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per side. For the full recipe, let’s get into the kitchen.

You can use tilapia, red sea bream fish, gilthead fish, or catfish. Never use mackerel for peppered fish.

• ½ teaspoon oregano
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• Pour the pepper blend into a pot and start cooking. The plan is to cook it till all the water dries up. After one hour of being in the fridge, bring out the fish.

• Remove the fish and pour any liquid in the bowl into the boiling pepper. When the water in the pepper has dried up, pour 3 tables spoons of vegetable oil and fry for about 3 minutes, stirring it all the time.

• Set aside. Deep-fry the fish till brown making sure that the inside is well cooked. Put the fish to the fried pepper and mix very well till every single part of the fish is coated with the pepper.

Before you prepare the peppered fish:

1. Remove the scale of the fish. If using catfish pour hot water on it for a short time to remove the slimy substance.
2. Remove the intestines without cutting the sides of the fish. Fishmongers can expertly do this by removing the intestines from the gill pockets.
3. Rinse the fish very well, cut it into desired pieces, and put it in a bowl.
4. Grind the oregano, black pepper, thyme, cumin, salt, and onion powder with a dry mill.
5. Add the herbs to the fish, crush in the stock cube and squeeze the orange into the bowl.
6. Mix well, cover, and put in the fridge to marinate for at least one hour. If you do not have a fridge, place in a cool place for one hour.
7. Meanwhile, chop half of the onions and the peppers. Blend partially with an immersion blender, no need to add water. With a normal blender, 3 pulses are enough and you may need to add water depending on how your blender works.

Notes on the ingredients:

1. You can also use Red Sea Bream Fish, Tilapia, Catfish, and other similar fish. When using catfish you need to, first of all, pour hot water on it to remove the slimy substance. 
2. Sweet peppers are not spicy at all but Nigerian tatashe is spicy so bear this in mind when using tatashe because you will not need to add as many habanero peppers as you would when using sweet peppers.
3. Habanero as well as Scotch Bonnet peppers are atarodo, atarugu or ose oyibo.
4. I like the taste of sweet orange in fish, you can skip it if you don’t want it.

Yes, you can fry fish in flour. In fact, it’s a great way to get a crispy coating on your fish without using any breading. All you need is some flour, salt, and pepper. Just dredge the fish in the flour mixture and then fry it in hot oil until it’s golden brown and cooked through.
