This picture doesn't look amazing, but let me tellyou the dish tasted amazing. My school has got a good international contingent, and one of my study-group mates is from Nigeria. After much begging and pleading, he agreed to make what he calls a Nigerian fish stew for us. The piece of catfish is rubbed with some sort of Nigerian spice that's hard to find. I'm going to find it. And then there's a bit of habanero thrown in. The fish is then gently poached in water. It seems so simple, but lord, it's a whole new taste and spicy and good. The flavor of the spice is vaguely reminiscent of the numbing spice of Sichuan peppers, but it's got this new indescribable additional component as well. I love love love trying new taste sensations.
