I had this Imoyo stew with Amala and Ewedu on the day i cooked this then had it with rice the following day when i took these pictures. It was so good. You can have it with Rice, combine with Ewedu, okra for swallows such as pounded yam, amala. 
I had a little bit of time on my hands and decided to put a bit more effort in the food styling rather than just dump the rice on the plate.

    Great Stew, although I must admit that I made a bit of a change. Because I'm very paranoid to choke on fish bones. xD
    Therefore I used only the filet of Hake Fish (but with skin).

    My thoughts about Fish skin, hm, it's not easy. I don't always like it. If I eat it it should be fried, or grilled to be crispy, cooked only works for me if the soup/stew is hot like here. Otherwise I do cook it for the taste, but then pull it if the fish and throw it away (or, if not to salty, wash of and give it the cat. xD).
