It can be both, it depends on the person eating it

Honestly adding scent leave to your ofe akwu hits differently. You can try adding it to your noodles and thank me later.

What is the essence of seasoning the ice fish separately

Is the fish not supposed to be steamed

@@margretsimeon7870 It takes just about ten minutes to cook a mackerel fish, there’s no point steaming and then cooking it again in the stew… Try cooking it the same way i did, you’ll be glad 🙂

You should have added onion 🧅 garlic 🧄 and ginger 🫚 to garnish the meat 🍖 anyway maybe a lot of Nigerians 🇳🇬don’t like these local spices. But in motherland Ghana 🇬🇭 95% loves to garnishing their meat or beef with this local spices ooo to make it flavor 🤣🤣🤣. Anyway your palm nut soup looks delicious and yummy .
