Popular Smoked Fish & Meat for Traditional African Cooking 

You can bring the scent of West African home cooking right into your kitchen in the UAE. African food is incomplete without smoked proteins, which give food a deep, woody umami flavor that regular meats can't match. We only buy the best fish and meat that has been smoked over real wood to make sure that your favorite soups, stews, and local rice dishes taste just like they do back home. Take your everyday cooking to a whole new level with unbeatable quality and authentic taste brought anywhere in the Emirates. 

Culinary Guide: How to Prep & Cook Smoked Fish 

It's easy to get good at smoking fish if you follow these steps. Soak the fish in warm salt water for 10 to 15 minutes to soften the meat and get rid of any dirt on the surface. Carefully cut it open to get rid of the main backbone and pin bones, then wash it well. Clean and smoke fish. Add it to soups, stews, or native rice in the last 15 minutes of cooking. This keeps the meat tender while giving the whole dish a rich, real smoky taste. 

How to Clean and Prepare Smoked Fish Before Cooking

If you prepare dried and smoked fish the right way, your finished dish will have the cleanest flavor and the best texture. Just do these easy things:

  • For 10 to 15 minutes, put your smoked fish in a bowl of warm water with a pinch of salt. This makes the meat softer and helps get rid of any ash or sea salt that might be on the surface.
  • To debone and scale a fish, gently cut it open along the middle ridge. Pull the small pin bones away and slide the main backbone out.
  • Run cold water over it a few times, pat it dry, and then add it right to the soup base or stew sauce that is boiling for the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is your smoked fish authentically sourced from West Africa?

Yes! All of our smoked fish, like Panla (Hake), Catfish, and Crayfish, comes from trusted West African suppliers and is traditionally wood-smoked to keep the deep, original taste.

Do you sell smoked meats as well as smoked fish?

In addition to our popular smoked fish, we do sell other smoked proteins, such as dried crayfish, shrimp, and beef or bush meat options that are smoked.

Do I need to wash or soak smoked fish before cooking?

Yes. We recommend soaking your smoked fish in hot saltwater for 10–15 minutes to soften the texture, clean off surface ash, and easily debone before adding it to your soup or stew.

How can I remove bones from shredded smoked fish?

Yes. Before adding smoked fish to soup or stew, you should soak it in hot saltwater for 10 to 15 minutes to soften it, get rid of the ash on top, and make it easier to debone.

How long does smoked fish last, and how should I store it in the UAE climate?

 Because it is hot and humid in the UAE, we suggest putting dried or smoked fish in airtight bags and putting them in the freezer for up to 6 months or the fridge for up to 2 weeks to keep them as fresh as possible and stop mold from growing.

Is the smoked fish vacuum-sealed for delivery?

 Of course. We clean all of our smoked proteins in a clean way and vacuum-seal or tightly package them to keep the taste in and keep smells out while they're being shipped.

How long does delivery take across the UAE?

We offer standard delivery within 24 to 48 hours across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and other emirates. Same-day delivery options may be available at checkout depending on your location.

Can I order smoked proteins in bulk for catering or events?

Yes! We do shopping for individuals as well as big events. For large discounts and custom orders, please contact our customer service team.
