Tilapia : Kenyan for Fish

Tilapia is the go to fish in Kenya. They are abundant in Lake Victoria in the Western part of Kenya. If you go somewhere and see Samaki (Swahili for Fish)on the menu you can expect it to be Tilapia unless it is specified otherwise.  There are many different ways it is eaten but my favorite is just deep fried.

I then blanched some Potatoes then pan fried them in Ghee (clarified butter and my favorite cooking oil atm) with powdered black pepper, and garnished it with some cilantro and tomato chunks.
