Description

Fisherman Soup is a vibrant and spicy seafood delicacy from the coastal regions of Nigeria, particularly among the Riverine communities. It’s a celebration of the sea, brimming with an assortment of fresh seafood such as prawns, periwinkles, clams, crab, calamari, and chunks of white fish. This soup is renowned for its bold flavors and rich, spicy broth. Traditionally, the soup starts with a base of blended Scotch bonnet peppers, tomatoes, and onions, boiled down to a rich consistency and combined with local spices like uziza, scent leaf, and sometimes ogiri (fermented locust beans) for depth. Palm oil is generously used to create a glossy, thick soup that coats the seafood perfectly. As the soup simmers, each variety of seafood is added at different stages to ensure they cook evenly and retain their unique textures and flavors. Unlike thicker Nigerian soups, Fisherman Soup has a semi-light broth, making it easy to pair with side dishes like pounded yam, eba, or rice. Every spoonful bursts with spice, umami, and freshness from the sea. It’s not just a meal but an immersive culinary journey—a favorite for special occasions or weekend indulgence.
