This was so cute….. I can identify with Tom. I’m a Westerner, my husband is Ghanaian. I went to visit his Sister in the States….She threw me a small welcome party, and decided to make Fufu and a stew. Wanting to be helpful, I went about “ setting the table” with knife and fork of course…..Everyone had a good laugh as my sister in law explained…….”You don’t eat Fufu with knife and fork”!! Married almost fifty years, we now travel to West Africa regularly for our Missions Ministry. I still eat my African dishes with cutlery

Hi Joy. I am a coastal lady from Mombasa. I normally soak my omena with warm water for five minutes. Then proceed to wash it with warm water until it looks silver-like in colour. On the last step of washing I usually use cold or room-temperature-water, then strain the water. 2. Pan dry the omena on medium heat. 3. Shallow fry the omenas until they are almost brown, then I add sliced onions, freshly crashed (in pestle and mortar) ginger and garlic and a pinch of salt until the omena are golden brown and crispy. 4. I prepare tomato stew full of spices and herbs as per my preference. 5. Serve with soft warm- hot sima (ugali). In other words, I do not cook omena and tomato stew in one pan. I feel like tomatoes and other spices weaken the aroma of crispy fried omena. (My opinion and observation).

Loving this couple. They are a symbol of how beautiful love should be. So warm and loving. Joy is always such a picture of virtuous wife, and Tom is such an amazing husband. I don't normally subscribe to KZbin videos, but you guys are pure and simply beautiful! Blessings!

Nice video Min and woun Atieno. Lol my middle name is Atieno. I always add some creamy milk to the omena before the dhania,tastes yummy(almost like beaf) and also does away with the after taste. And some pilipili😋😋

[@joyandtomking6182]

That's sound delicious, I will try that

my son loves silver fish but he hates the flower just like his English dad. being from Portugal small fish is deep fried and served with tomato onion. my Angolan side adds baked sweet potato and boiled cassava. I love your recipe. Tom made an amazing job tossing and smashing that fish down. first time here, enjoyed it fully. thanks

Mmmmm! yummy best dish, Joy you are lucky Tom is so easy to be with, next time you get an opportunity prepare "susa or mito mixed with apoth " serve with ugali right? Great cooking 👏👏👏

[@ivythorne6094]

Hello my dear Joy and Tom...I do always enjoy your videos...I do love that fish,, but don't get it...have not in years 😊😊, and I like it with rice ,..with vegetables on the side

[@joyandtomking6182]

Hello, it's amazing with vegetables on the side too

[@mantombimaseme6628]

I don't think South Africans generally eat silver fish (I could be wrong), but I've seen it in foreign nationals' shops who are from other African countries here in South Africa. It has a very strong smell and it's always displayed to dry without being covered in these shops so I didn't see it as appetizing at all but the way you've prepared it looks delicious.

[@LEO-dy8sd]

Me the way I love Joy's vibe,,,,today you decided our in-law should eat kisumu boys,,,,, #wuon atieno /min atieno

[@wilroseestate5435]
