Ffs...unaa go just dey chop weird things....wetin be that?
when you taste the finish, you'll ask for more. I remember when my brother in-law came visiting with two of his friends, my mom served them with the fish. After eating it, they ask my mom to be supplying them the fish. Every month end, he will send money to my mom to help buy the fish for them.
It is bone free, children can eat it without fear of bone.

This is the African Lung fish. It's called Mai mama in Hausa language, it usually stays in muddy water. It has cartilages instead of bones.

Re: Who Knows The Name Of This Fish? by Oldmansense(m): 3:33pm On Jul 23, 2022
In Bayelsa its called Ebiseni whole some call it breast fish because of the long projections from the body. It has only one bone and it can bite even after you have killed it. You have to pour hot water and salt on it after cutting off the head. It's poisonous when it bites. But e dey sweet wella. The fish eats itself during dry season

That's a mud fish. Locally we call it breast fish because of those four breast appendage stuff. Be careful though the bone is very strong. Very very strong.
