About Plantain and fish pottage

Plantain and Fish Pottage is a flavorful dish rooted in West African cuisine, celebrated for its hearty and nutritious balance. It combines ripe or unripe plantains, fresh fish (often mackerel or tilapia), and a blend of tomatoes, onions, peppers, and aromatic spices. The dish is typically slow-cooked, allowing the plantains to soften and the rich flavors to meld together. Packed with vitamins, fiber, and potassium from the plantains, as well as lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids from the fish, it supports muscle health and cardiovascular function. The use of fresh vegetables and natural spices enhances its nutrient density while keeping it low in trans fats. However, moderation is key with added oils or salt during preparation. Plantain and Fish Pottage offers a wholesome, comforting meal that is both satisfying and nourishing—a staple with deep cultural significance.
