Hello Ladies,
This is my ridiculously easy one pot catfish stew, it’s my go to when I want a quick sauce for boiled yam, okra or rice. If you enjoy cooking with catfish (check out catfish stew), then you will definitely enjoy this mouthwatering stew. For those in Nigeria, fresh catfish is best. If you live outside Nigeria use defrosted Catfish, Basa or Snapper.
