The Smoked Catfish "Adwene", The Favourite Delicacy of Many Ghanaians

All around the world, people from different races and tribes have unique way of living which is usually termed culture. Ghana is a multicultural society and with diverse tribes. Each of these tribes have their favourite delicacies and it's easy to tell the tribe a person belongs simply by observing the kind of food and meat that he or she normally eat.

In Ghana a lot of people prefer the smoke fish from different species of fish ranging from Salmon, Tuna, Cassava fish, shrimps,Tilapia, Catfish and many more. are preferred by the majority of Ghanaians. Most Ghanaians prefer the smoked catfish because of its delicious flavor. It goes well in peanut butter soup, palm nut soup, garden eggs soup, and other Ghanaian traditional soups.

A typical Asante man(someone from the Asante tribe) will not really appreciate his soup until he has had a taste of the smoked catfish and smelled the wonderful aroma it emits, it's smoky flavour. We call it "Adwene" in Ghana, which is literally translated as "brain" in English. I'm not sure why this fish was given this name, but it's a common belief in Ghana that any soup including "adwene" will definitely be delicious.

Because of the flavour it adds to soup and its excellent taste, it is frequently offered at a greater price than other fish found in our local markets. One large smoked catfish, or "adwene," can cost as much as 50 cedis, or about 8.19 Hive.

Going for the big ones will ensure that you have value for your money, becuase it is big enough to eat more to your satisfaction. It is known for its nutritional value, including being a good source of Vitamin A, Pottasium, Protein, Vitamin 6, Vitamin B12, and many other vitamins and minerals.

Smoke Catfish "Adwene" has a longer shelf life and may be stored without refrigeration for longer periods of time. I'm sure you'll want to try our traditional "adwene" cuisine if you ever visit Ghana.</div>

hello friends, I also have this food in my country, we call the smoked catfish as "ikan salai", it means the same about the cooking process with the smoking method.

Usually, this smoked catfish is best when doused with curry sauce.. hmm yummy

Good to know that you also enjoy the same food, very yummy too with our palnut soup. It's also interesting to know how they have different names at different places. Thanks for sharing with me

Oh my, see these yummy smoked fish! 😄 Believe me when I say, we enjoy filling our soup pots with this smoked fish too in Nigeria. We also enjoy it fresh and make pepper soup with mostly.

>We call it "Adwene" in Ghana, which is literally translated as "brain" in English...

Could it have to do with how big the head of the fish is? Hahaha. 

Thank you for this interesting post on Ghanaian cuisine and love for fish. Keep writing! 🙂

Wow! Nigeria and Ghana share a lot of things in common and I'm happy to know how much you also enjoy this fish. For the name I would find out more from my grandma, I believe she has a lot to share on that and besides you could be right too. Thanks🙏 for the nice comment and for the support. @kemmyb

Ghanaian food is quite delicious. I like *"adwene"* with fufu, particularly in a light soup. Thank you @collinz, for assisting in bringing Ghanaian cuisine to the world's attention.
