Malawian chambo is actually a type of fish that is endemic to Lake Malawi also known as Lake Nyasa. The freshwater fish is in the Tilapia family and therefore an easy fish to find to make this delicious dish. This recipe was submitted by Chef Sean George, who says: "I grew up in Blantyre and started cooking at a young age. After studying I moved around the country and am now working as Head Chef for Ulendo Travel Group in Lilongwe."
