CAMEROONIAN FISH STEW // Fish Stew Recipe // African Fish Stew // Tomato Stew

This Cameroonian Fish Stew and rice are a match made in heaven! This is a great recipe for weeknight dinners or for the weekends. Add some sweet fried plantains on the side and you'll be in heaven!
I grew up eating different kinds of tomato stew with rice. There are various versions made with beef, chicken or fish. You'll love this African Fish Stew! I used a kind of fish I get from the Asian market called "round scad". But you could use mackerel or any other fish you have on hand. Hope you enjoy this Fish Stew Recipe!

    I am a Mosotho by nationality married to the Cameroonian man, he always asks me where did I learn cooking Cameroon dishes. He enjoys my cooking soo much and it's all thanks to you Precious. 💕

    Your story at the end brought tears to my eyes Precious. Same happened to me and my cousin at my neighbors house and they were soaking expired bread to give pigs and we were so hungry and begging for a piece to eat. Today I am so grateful for food, shelter, freedom and you name it. Thank you for inspiring your audience like myself.

    Fresh tomatoes stew is bae. Love it with spaghetti. In Cameroon this fish u used is what we call mackerel (mackero) though mackerel is actually different. Up to date its my favorite fish. I hate the real mackerel, it looks like snake to me. I don't even eat it. Thanks lady P. Stew on my menu tomorrow.

    African queen, loving your earring. Thx for sharing this mouth watering recipe. A little feedback to improve on your amazing videos would be to try to make them a little shorter around the 10min or even less mark. There are some steps that could be skipped and explained e.g the spice blend, pepper, Maggi and additional water steps took close to 3 minutes could be done in one step and explained. Thanks for sharing these wonderful recipes with us and I can’t wait for the next one❤️
