Take a dive into the fascinating world of Nigerian waters and discover the elusive Asa fish – the jewel of Southern Nigeria. This electric fish, also known as freshwater rat-tail or African knifefish, is not only a delicacy but also one of the most expensive types of fish in the country. Found in shallow, slow-moving waters, Asa fish is a rare catch that is not farmed but rather sourced from its natural habitat. Its shiny skin and lack of bones make it a true culinary adventure, especially when dried Mangala style – a traditional method of wood-smoking the fish after it’s cut into smaller pieces. So next time you’re in Nigeria, don’t miss out on the chance to savor this prized fish and add a little adventure to your taste buds. #
