How to cook Fried Fish Fillet

Samaki wa kuka is coastal fish stewed in coconut and spice sauce — pan or pot cooked like Dar and Mtwara fish restaurants serve. Eaten with rice and lime kachumbari.

  1. Wash fish, cut into large pieces, salt and lime.
  2. Chop onions and tomatoes; fry onions in oil until soft.
  3. Add ginger and garlic, stir 2 minutes.
  4. Add tomatoes, cook to sauce; pour in half the coconut milk.
  5. Lay fish in sauce, cover and cook medium 10 minutes.
  6. Turn fish carefully once.
  7. Add remaining coconut milk and lime; cook 5 more minutes.
  8. Sauce should thicken slightly and fish flake tenderly.
  9. Scatter herbs on top before serving.
  10. Serve with plain or coconut rice and kachumbari salad.

Tips

  • Do not overcook fish — it should flake but stay whole.
  • Lime at the end adds coastal brightness.
  • Snapper or kingfish work best for kuka.
