Who would add fresh fish to soup without first seasoning and partially cooking it? The properly cooked fish not only tastes sweeter and better but also reduces the strong odor associated with fresh fish.

If I were to visit your home and witness you adding uncooked, fresh fish directly to your soup, I would immediately infer that you lack culinary expertise and possibly maintain questionable hygiene standards and would never eat that rubbish.

Asian Countries eat raw fish

Na how great grannies, grannies dey cook am be this , them go wash the fish , remove all the dirts in it , rinse it very well and pour it inside soup and nothing do them or we since then to this moment.. even if you eat at any canteen/cafeteria till now or tomorrow or next 10years , that's how it is and it can never change .

There is a say , na fish 🐟 soup , no go stir am ( obe eja ni ,malo ro ) .
Them go put am inside soup ,leave am make e cook Wella for like 15-20minutes unstirred , them go just carry the pot shake am , return am back ..

Make we no dey complicate things ..

If you like to perboil it , go on and nobody go hold you . But 90-95% of people do not perboil it , na straight inside soup after proper rinse ..

This notice me Lady is here again, there is nothing wrong cooking it like that, what needs to be done is that, it should be given enough time to be properly cooked so that ingredients can penetrate and the fish aroma would come out good 👍

Fish do not take long to cook, plus, they break (pieces) easily.
Mere steam can even cook a fish.

As long as they've been washed, salted, and allowed to drain out, they can be added directly to already boiling, seasoned soup/stew.

See woman when sabi. It's not hard to know.

You're not making any sense. How long does it take for fish to get done in heat.? Are U eating it immediately U put it in the soup? U leave it in to get property cooked only this time with the soup/ sauce which will even be more tasty. It's inside heat and will get done fish is not cow tail that U need to boil for long. Na wah oo abi na 1 hour U take dey cook Ur own fish? It's fish already too soft to be cooked for long. Wash properly and cook it 15-20 minutes and ur good to go

We Yorubas don’t precook fish, so I don’t know the majority that you are talking about. Check all the supporters of precooked fish, they are from one side of the country that don’t eat salt nor oil

I didn't know Yorubas don't precook fish, even though I think you're generalising.
From the reactions so far, it's safe to use "majority"

If u feel okay putting it directly, good for you

If you feel you need to precook it first, good for you.

For me, I pre-cook first

It's called OMOYO but you need a lot of atarodo if you don't want to empty your stomach after eating. Hope it was first soaked in salt water and vinegar.

englishmart:
Majority of people say the fish is supposed to be precooked before adding it to your soup.
What difference does it make? The fish will eventually absorb the ingredients from the soup, still, making it taste great, too.
What do you think, guys?
Does cooking it this way speak to culinary incompetency

Yes, that is how they like to enjoy protein whether fish or meat.
They enjoy eating sushi, which is actually raw fish with rice.
They also prefer the see the red part of meat when it it served.

Not this kind of fish . That eat anything in the sea ... There are fishes that are selective eaters . And hardly carry worms .. this na fish wea fit even chop shit .. 😂

An Akwa Ibom person can never try this

you are 100% correct. let me take soup for example, every consciously cooked soup most have reasonable amount of vegetable, vegetable contains vitamins and minerals( no be coke and Fanta oo) that are heat sensitive. ie they are destroyed by long cooking. so the best way is to precooked your fish then transfer it to the soup, add vegetable, turn it, count one to ten with your finger and bring the soup down. your balance diet is ready.

putting raw fish will extend the cooking time and the following will happen;
1. Nutrients will be lost because of long cooking.
2. the taste and fresh aroma of the food will be lost.
3. appetizing appearance of the food will be lost.
4. the food will be harder to digest and metabolize.
5. increase possibility of charred and burnt foods which contain carcinogenic substances.

There's nothing bad in it though some would like their own to be pre cooked.

Meat is understandable. It has to be precooked to soften it. You don't have to soften fish. And it's not like you throw away the fish broth after cooking. I don't see any difference

Yes you are correct. You can wash, season and marinate fish before adding it straight into the pot. You can as well scald it with boiling water to remove the odour and toughen up the skin.

It is nonsensical to pre-cook fish, prawns and other seafoods before cooking again as they are already very soft to begin with.

You will simply end up with rubbery, overcooked fish that’ will be like chewing stick. Or scattered, over-soft fragments of flesh.

People from south south riverine areas understand this better. Their seafood soups always taste good because they still have some nature flavour and texture without overcooking them to death.
