About Couscous poisson

Couscous Poisson is a flavorful dish deeply rooted in North African and West African cuisine, especially popular in Senegal. It features steamed couscous, a light and fluffy semolina grain, paired with a hearty fish stew. The stew typically includes fresh fish, tomatoes, onions, peppers, garlic, and a variety of aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, and paprika. Vegetables such as carrots, zucchini, and okra are often added, enhancing its nutrient profile. Couscous Poisson is a balanced meal rich in proteins from the fish, fiber from the couscous and vegetables, and essential vitamins and minerals. It is generally low in unhealthy fats, making it a wholesome option. However, sodium content can be higher depending on the seasoning and broth used, so moderation is key. This dish is celebrated for its vibrant flavors, cultural significance, and its ability to deliver a satisfying, nutrient-packed dining experience.
