The Anatomy of a Meal

Close your eyes and imagine this. OK maybe read this, then imagine. The crisp skin of fried fish yields to your fingers as you tear off a steaming morsel of flaky, perfectly-cooked white flesh. The smell of fried fish surrounds you as you drape stings of onion and diced tomato drizzled with fish infused oil over the fish. Fresh cut hot peppers and a smoky, spicy tomato sauce top it off. Your fingers warm with the delicious flavors as you add a smattering of attiéké, a couscous like grain with a tangy, bitter taste. You move the mixture towards your tongue and the result is sweet, spicy, salty, tangy, fishy and, yes, delicious.
