Description
Grilled Tilapia with Ata Din Din is a fiery and flavorful Nigerian classic, where whole or filleted tilapia is marinated in spices and grilled to perfection, then generously smothered in a spicy pepper sauce called Ata Din Din. This sauce—made from blended Scotch bonnets, bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes—is slow-cooked with oil and seasoned with garlic, ginger, and thyme to create a thick, intensely savory topping. The fish is seasoned with salt, bouillon, and herbs before grilling over charcoal or in the oven for a crispy exterior and juicy interior. Once done, it’s topped with hot Ata Din Din and often served with fried plantains, yam, or rice. It’s a favorite in homes and restaurants for its bold, smoky flavor and spicy punch. The combination of grilled fish and fiery sauce is irresistible and captures the vibrant spirit of Nigerian street food and home cooking.
