Smoked Mangala fish is a highly sought-after delicacy in Nigerian and West African cuisine. Known for its bold flavor and crispy texture, Mangala is traditionally smoked to preserve its quality and enhance its taste. It’s commonly used in soups, stews, and native dishes, adding a rich, smoky depth to every meal. The fish is carefully cleaned, seasoned, and smoked until it reaches a deep brown finish, making it shelf-stable and ready to cook.
