Mackerel is the fish most Nigerian kitchens turn to first, known at home as titus. It is an oily fish, which means it stays moist, takes pepper and onion beautifully, and delivers a full, savoury flavour rather than a delicate one.
It is at its best in a red pepper stew, in a light peppered broth, or simply seasoned and served with jollof rice, boiled yam or fried plantain. Mackerel is also the friendly entry point for anyone new to West African fish dishes.
