INTRODUCTION

Greetings to you my beloved steemian friends. I feel pleasured to be sharing you about the delicacies of the seas in cooperation with the contest hints. Foods of the seas as very delicious and proteinous, containing high rate of nutritional values.

Actually I have gotten to taste lots of fishes but sincerely speaking it's this "Catfish" that has caught my attention. My mummy have severally practiced fishery before she decided to face other business of hers.

Catfish gotten from the cave

Catfish is a kind of fish that has modified contents, they are a good source of protein, with about 49% fillet of the daily value (about 159 grams) and 100-110 calories. Research has it that Catfish is affordable and a very versatile recommendation for a balanced diet determining its high nutritional value, which include protein, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

I usually get my fish from the cave which looks like a constructed metal basin positioned along the road side. It usually contain about 200 big fishes and has a drainage where the odd water goes out from.

The last time I purchases a catfish in my area, I went for the black skinned type which I bought for 2,500 naira in Nigerian currency, inverting to Steem, you will getting about 14.8 Steem to 15 Steem.

There's this particular way I prepare my catfish, which enables me to consume it with swallow and rice.

Ingredients:

• Half chopped onion
• Seasoning cube
• Uziza leave
• Cocoyam or Archi (thickener)
• Salt to taste
• Pepper

Catfish butchered into family size to cook.

Preparation:

Wash the fish well with salt and water, put the fish inside the pot. Then add all the ingredients which is the pepper, cube, onion, thickener, salt. Allow it to steam together for 3 minutes then add a little water.

Open the pot again, check if the fish is done in about 10minutes then add the uziza leaf. In 3 minutes time it will be done then bring it down and serve with either swallow or rice.

And to note, I am the one that mostly prepare this meal in my family.

Okay!.. I have heard of some kids saying that they don't like eating fishes rather they prefer meat. But when I was a kid, I loved fishes alot, although I didn't know what benefits it possesses but I loved it.

It is our current generation of kids that detest fishes and think they are yakky kind of meal that belongs to the animals. But no!!! They need fish alot in their food and less of meat, inorder enhance their growth.

In my honour. I wish to invite @estem @yakspeace and @suboohi in this contest.
