any tips on making Fish pepper soup (CROAKER FISH)

...

if in nig, make sure you use a live catfish , blessed taste

Naahh, my sister is law showed me a slightly different way

fish
stockfish
peppersoup seasonings
maggi
curry
fresh pepper
black pepper (the nigerian one)
little onion and garlic
crayfish

marinate the fish in all of the above for a few hours then do what you were going to do.

Put plenty of pepper.

Fish Peppersoup
Ingredients;
1 Fish, red snapper/tilapia
2 pepper, grinded
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 pice of lime
Spices (Optional)
2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, chopped
Cooking fat
1/2 cup, coconut milk

Method
Clean the fish, remove the gills and scales. (You can even remove the head and the tail, but I prefer my fish with the head intact
Season the fish with the pepper, garlic, spices and the lime. Place it on a saucer or plate that can allow for draining of the water. (This enhances the taste of the fish)
Chop the onion in a pot, add cooking fat and place on heat. Fry until golden brown then add the tomatoes and cover for three minutes.
Put the coconut milk in a pan, add knorr or royco and heat while stirring until the mixture becomes a thick paste. Remove from heat and mix it in the pot of the frying tomatoes and onions.
Put the fish in the mixture and cover. Let it boil for about ten to fifteen minutes when the fish is ready.

Serve with either rice, pounded yam, chapatis, or anything. . ! But I love it more with rice. Wash it down with pineapple or passion juice and a piece of watermelon for a fruit. Bon appetit!!!

Enjoy and ask for more

This is a very easy method and tastes lovely. The taste comes from the cameroonian pepper. Sorry I dont know whats in it so can't tell you.

Ingredients

2 medium sized fish - cut into large slices and soaked in salty water

1/2 teaspoon of Cameroonian pepper (be very careful with this as it is verrrrryyy HOOOOOOOOOOOT)

1/2 teaspoon of ground crayfish

2 cubes of knorr

water

Method

Place the water in a pan, add all the above ingredients except the fish and simmer for about 20 minutes, add the fish and leave for another 10 minutes, shaking the pot from time to time. All done.

I like this method as Im a bachelor and I just need a quick and easy way. However, whats the Camerounian pepper? Do I just go into any afro carribean store and ask for camerounian pepper or is there another name for it?

Ingredients:

2 fresh fish (tilapia, catfish or bream)
1 lemon
or lime
50g Pepper Soup Spices
50g chopped chillies
100g fresh prawns, peeled
1 onion, chopped
1l stock or water
25g chopped scent leaves
oil for frying

Method:

Clean the fish and cut into 8 steaks (including the tail).
Wash and rub thoroughly with the lemon or lime.
Season with salt then add a little oil to a pot and fry the fish for a few minutes then take out and set aside. Add the stock, along with the chopped onion, chillies and pepper soup spices.
Bring to a boil and allow to boil rapidly for 15 minutes.
Add the fish and prawns and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
Check the seasoning and serve in soup bowls, garnished with the fresh leaves

Any Cameroonians in the house? Please help if you know whats in this mix and where one can buy it from.

Sorry I dont know where you can get it from outside of Nigeria. I got mine from the market in Abuja. Be warned though, it's pretty potent sutff and a tiny whiff will get you sneezing on end

Thanks. I asked my Camerounian friend and he knows how and where to get it.

@ Deep Soul tanx for the info

No Harms Meant!

But This one self na pepper soup

It looks pretty good if u ask me, I think its egusi, jus dat they havent put the leaves yet

chaircover:

In my post I said it was the quick and easy way. The Cameroonian pepper has most of the ingredients you mention already in it. The only thing I forgot to mention was the diced onion.

There are many different ways to cook a dish. People who cook fried rice & jollof rice will tell you this. Different doesn't mean wrong.  . . . . . Oh and by the way my sister in-law taught me this method and she has been happily married for 30 years so is definitely cooking something right. 

At the end of the day, it is unlikely that the person eating the pepper soup will be able to tell the fish was marinated with all the ingredients you mention or just salt. Peppersoup has quite a strong flavour anyway and the fish will soak up all the juices & flavour from the time it spends simmering in the pot.

Dare I ask what is the Nigerian black pepper please?

You are right. There are many ways to cook it. In fact I have never heard of stock fish in pepper soup. Nigerian black pepper might be alligator pepper.

@Poster

Get a pot.
Add Fish, then Pepper, then soup = Fish pepper soup.
