African market day. Life in the countryside

[@Britter255]

Darling Jael, your videos have inspired me and my family to move to our village home( although it's not really far from town,like 20 mins away but the serene environment is just amazing). Planning to do some very big projects here and my biggest inspiration is God and you so thank you lovely. And i also love how well you capture nature,your videos are so relaxing.

[@jaelofthevillage]

Thank you so much,dear. I wish you all the best in your journey to this stress-free lifestyle. ❤️

Jael, you cleaned the fish so well, and the way you have prepared it, has made me salivate. I can eat fish prepared by you over and over again coz you cleaned it thoroughly ❤

In my country when cleaning the fresh fish,we normally remove the gills out and it's a must

[@jaelofthevillage]

We eat the gills,the reason we have to clean it thoroughly

[@rosy-nb4]

There's always something new to learn from you Jael...us from waru 🥔 nation we can now eat fish we have the skills 😊 Thank you 👏

Bonjour Jael. Thank you for showing how to clean fish well. The garden looks so beautiful.

This market reminds me of my childhood , sometimes we took maize for exchange of sweet potatoes, kisii and luos now coexist so well..

[@jaelofthevillage]

Oh yes

[@mersadiewebb-johnson5763]

It is the first time I am seeing the gills of the fish clean that way....here in Jamaica 🇯🇲 I remove it all together. WoW,so interesting

[@jaelofthevillage]

We eat the gills

[@PC-zg3eo]

We remove the gills altogether. My mother used to always make a stew with some of the fried fish. She used sour oranges or limes to wash the fish, then seasoned them with salt and pepper. Then she dried them, dipped them in a little flour and fried them.

[@jaelofthevillage]

Wow! That sounds really yummy

[@brendakaunda2262]

The law of supply versus demand ..demand for fish is high than the supply so it has to be expensive...Im luhya from Luanda,I was a teacher just behind that market you posted wooow,at Ringa Boys..I then got married at Kakelo Kamroth ....for real I love the terrain of where I'm married at,the weather,the soil ...I knew you are my neighbor only that I didn't know where,the market summarized everything 😅

[@jaelofthevillage]

😅😅 hey neighbour. I hope to meet you soon

[@monicahnjoroge8168]

I don't think so. I come from Eldoret and I have kin in Nyandarua. What they produce is mostly cheaper in their area. It's only Nyanza where the fish is very expensive in their backyard and this became a thing after it was made a city... Expertise need to explain something

[@brendakaunda2262]

@@monicahnjoroge8168 still ,where you come from the product the community is harvesting meets the supply needs of the people so need for it to be expensive ....what if it doesn't meet the quantity people want?will it still be cheap?thats the difference with fish....demand versus supply .....I have been to nyandarua and the market is flooded with warus so the price has to go down....

[@jaelofthevillage]

..but why?

[@ajohnson6890]

Ooowee. I've been waiting to go to the market again with you. We had a lovely outing. Thank you. Hahaha. In my neighborhood, I am known as the hermit. Really??? I just enjoy the company of myself and my children when they visit. I don't enjoy the gossip - which is why I don't welcome some visitors. Serenity and peace of mind is priceless to me. This is another reason I enjoy your channel so much. Bless you Jael.

[@lindsaykiptiness1088]

Jael, why should the fish be expensive at the source than Nairobi, I wonder? How has the spread of hyacinth affected fish production in HBC and neighbouring countries? Any idea? In Thailand, there is a company that has converted hyacinth into organic fertilizer. Is this something that can be done in Homa Bay ?

[@jaelofthevillage]

That's awesome. I heard about the hyacinth being converted to fertiliser here too. Not sure if it's real. I think most of the fish are taken to Nairobi thereby creating a shortage here.

[@mercychelangat7135]

I am here salivating,I am thinking of starting to buy my fish fresh

She was a house mother (matron) in the dormitory I used to stay.

Hello Jael💐🫶🏽🤗🎄 1:22... EDIT: 7:54 OMG🤔 the second fish from the one you're holding at the time stamp I put. May I ask? Do you not Gut the fish!🫢 meaning. Cut the belly and pull all that stuff out.🤔 I know of this because I used to do this with my grandmother when I was a little girl. So I AM not judging. I AM curious if you do it in your culture Because unless I'm viewing it wrong,It doesn't look like that fish been Gutted, I see the little red thing. And if you don't, please explain to me why. Because it's just as important as it was for you to clean under the gills I would think.! 7:55

That stuff was pulled out at the market by the seller. We don't eat it. Maybe you saw the eggs.
