Tell me more about the former. I've never had it b4.
It's a popular roadside delicacy very common with the people of Rivers State. They do it in warri too but I don't enjoy it like the one of Port Harcourt. The yam and plantain(either ripe or unripe, but I prefer the unripe one)is usually roasted like you roast corn. The fish is soaked in grinded pepper and onion seasoned with maybe just salt or salt and maggi. Then it is placed on the fire alongsides the yam. To roast slowly...
Now the sauce...consists of grinded fresh pepper, onions, fresh garlic and ginger...fried with palm oil. Bros...just try it.
Lol...I love it!

. Suya is sold only at night as it is said to be very delicious only at night.

This is not totally true. In most parts of the north, you can get suya literally 24/7.

Though, admittedly, the best and freshest is usually at night.

Roasted corn reminds me of Obasanjo as a president during his tenure, he stopped his convoy in other to buy roasted corn along federal housing lugbe, Abuja, the woman was very happy to see president of Nigeria buying roasted corn from her, OBJ bought 300 naira corn and he gave the woman 500 naira, the woman was shocked when OBJ asked of the 200 naira change, believe me Baba collected his 200 Naira change before he left.

Òkpa is well loved in enugu state. Anambra prefer moimoi than òkpa. Its foreign to imo and abia. Also I prefer how anambra make òkpa than the enugu type. It's sweeter and really soft.

The widely accepted abacha we have everywhere is not the only way to make abacha. I don't eat that one either. Got no love for it.
I only eat abacha at home. Prepared differently.
