Catfish - stew - Nigerian - Food - recipe - easy - fast - quick This is my ridiculously easy one pot catfish stew, it’s my go to when I want a quick sauce for boiled yam, okra or rice. I shared the picture on instagram in December and I just realized I never shared the recipe. My bad :(. For those in Nigeria, fresh catfish is best. If you live outside Nigeria use defrosted Catfish, Basa or Snapper.
