As a young girl growing up in Sierra Leone there were certain snacks you would expect to be served when invited to a party. One would expect to be served jollof rice and or cous cous, prawn crackers, salad, pepper chicken and fish balls crumbed with colored Paxo breadcrumbs. Be warned these fish balls are very tempting and I can totally understand why someone would be disappointed if they had prepared their appetite for this flaky on the inside, crunchy on the outside fishy goodness.

Break into pieces and blend in food processor as shown in 3, then spread out on a try as per photo 4.

Boil the potatoes in salt water till tender then peel.

Step 3

Then cut the fish into pieces and steam over medium heat for 10 minutes then drain all the liquid

Step 4

Transfer the fish into a large bowl and leave it to cool for 10 minutes
