How To Eat Nigeria’s Fried Fish (with Garri!)

TubeMan — Tue, 26 Sep 2017 15:33:20 +0000

Nigerian food is some of the best in the world with one of the tastiest cuisines. So BattaBox finds out how to cook and eat our famous “Fried Fish And Garri”.

Firstly, coat the fresh fish in flour and deep fry so it’s in a tasty batter for about five minutes. Our street chef recommends using plenty of oil and a wood fired heat.

Make sure you can hear that delicious, mouth-watering, crackling sound.

Take a big spoon and then ladle the fried fish out of the oil. But be careful the oil is hot. Nigeria food likes plenty of oil, often palm oil. This will then soften the fried fish and bones.

Fried Fish and Garri in Nigeria used to cost between 10-20 Naira, but in the recent recession, costs have gone up to over 100 Naira. But still, most fresh Lagos street food fried fish and garri will be sold out in maybe ten minutes. Plenty of customers will come when they smell the aroma.

“I like to take two pieces of fried fish and garri because I’m a BattaBox big boy who likes his Nigeria food!” says Warri Pikin.

“Things are very hard in this country o,” says one customer who has come for his Nigeria food. “So fried fish and garri is cheap and plentiful.”

Garri is a popular Nigeria food, a staple, made from cassava flakes. To make the Garri, wash it in water or milk, and then mix with sugar.

“In the current Nigerian economy, this is normal Nigeria food!” says the customer.

Do you enjoy Nigeria food? What do you think of fried fish and Garri?

TubeMan — Wed, 04 Jan 2017 10:22:40 +0000

Our presenters, Lolade and BollyLomo, attended the BIGGEST FITNESS EVENT in Lagos – Fitfam – to get fit for January.

Lots of fitness enthusiasts, personal trainers and men and women that are just trying to get fit and look and feel their best turned up to sweat the day away.

The event not only promoted exercise but also healthy eating.

“It’s amazing! I feel like we are slowly becoming more conscious of what we are putting into our bodies and how we are taking care of our bodies,” one young lady explained.

There were many different vendors on site that provided food, personal trainers and sportswear. It was a “one stop shop for everything fitness in Lagos”.

Can You Cook Stew For Less Than N1000 In A Recession?

TubeMan — Tue, 20 Dec 2016 13:35:54 +0000

Since the current recession hit Nigeria like a tonne of bricks, prices of EVERYTHING have been skyrocketing but the one thing that every single Nigerian has definitely noticed is how the current economic climate has impacted the price of food in the market.

Now…If it was just food, we could manage. After all, we are a nation of survivors but it’s EVERYTHING.

You want to buy tomatoes and pepper?

Fine but if you want the seller to grind them for you, you must pay extra.

Why?

Because the price of oil for the grinding machine has increased.

So BattaBox sent our presenter Adeola to Ketu Market – Her mission?

To see if she could buy the ingredients she need to cook rice and stew for under 1000 naira like she used to before ‘change’ occurred and let’s just say the task wasn’t as simple as she thought it would be…

“Make I buy tomato and pepper from you, 300, make you ground for me 50 naira, then you give me onions, 50 naira,” Adeola instructs.

“No onions 50 naira for Nigeria now o!” the lady shakes her head, “You no know?” she tells Adeola.

“One carton of fish I dey buy am 30,000 before now na 12,000 naira,” one market woman laments.

“Fish is even more costlier than meat now,” a potential customer agrees with the seller.

“Rice was 15,000, 12,000 but now, the last I bought was 20,000 naira,” one man states.

“We are not selling like before,” a lady shakes her head.

How are YOU coping?!

Are you still able to buy food for a reasonable price?!

Thanks for watching!

Where To Find Best Boli And Fish In Nigeria!

TubeMan — Wed, 07 Dec 2016 08:58:56 +0000

Boli and fish is a meal that is eaten all over Nigeria. It can be enjoyed as a snack, shared with friends or eaten alone for lunch or dinner.

The sweet taste of the ripe plantain blends perfectly with the peppery fish making it one of the most popular meals in the country.

BattaBox has been hearing rumours though, about where to find the best boli and fish in Nigeria and apparently the place to search is Port Harcourt.

So BattaBox hit the Port Harcourt streets, to find out from the boli makers themselves…

Where to get the best boli and fish in Port Harcourt and what makes the boli in Rivers State so much tastier than everywhere else?

“If you taste this boli, you will forget this your interview and start selling this boli, it’s a very nice business, you can see people are even patronising us from everywhere,” one man promises as a customer grabs something from the fire.

“We sure can see, they are actually taking the chicken away from it though,” McCreeda says.

“The way we prepare it, the onion…slice it, put oil, pepper…and if you have money, you buy coke,” the same man responds when McCreeda asks him what makes his boli so special.

Have you tasted the boli and fish in Rivers State?

How was it? Was it as delicious as everyone says it is?

Tomato Scarcity Shakes Nigeria !!

TubeMan — Wed, 18 May 2016 15:30:00 +0000

Tomato scarcity and the hike in price of perishable goods like garri and rice is beginning to Nigerians greatly. The prices of everything in markets have tripled and tomatoes especially has become really unaffordable.

“Its normally expensive but never this high,”

BattaBox presenters Odunayo and Kayode visited the popular Mushin perishable market in Lagos to talk to traders and customers about how the hike in tomatoes have affected their business.

“A basket used to be N20,000 ($60)but it now costs N45,000 ($120),” complains one of the market women

But what has prompted the scarcity of a vegetable like tomatoes that should be available to Nigerians in abundance?

“Its because some rich people are buying them directly to produce tomato paste,” replies one tomatoes seller

Tomato is one vegetable Nigerians cannot do without. It is used to cook our favorite jollof rice, stew and many other foods we eat everyday. But due to the recent development, people are beginning to look for alternatives to cook like eating gravies instead of stew or coconut rice in place of jollof rice.

Watch and enjoy!
