I don't know how did i get here, the mysteries of youtube i guess, but it's so funny and weird. In México (were l'm from) we eat the exactly same thing! (that tiny fishes) we don´t called it "Kapenta" we called "Charales" Greetings from México!
Wow I had no idea, I always believed that they were only found in Africa because foreigners are always so shocked when they see them. Greetings from Zambia!
Montagnard indigenous Central highland of Vietnam we eat tiny fish too . I live in USA now I use to go to Mexican store here in USA they have tiny fish , I fried them eat with white rice every days it’s crunchy, tasty .
Thank you so much! I have never truly enjoyed dried kapenta or matemba (as we call them in Zimbabwe), only fresh ones because I could never eliminate the bitterness. Thanks to this recipe I understand how to do it now and they taste just as good as bream or tilapia! Excellent!
I see you haven’t uploaded in a while but just wanted to say your videos have been really helpful for me who lives away from my family when I’m trying to cook Zambian food 😍💚
HEY I LIKE THE WAY YOU COOK SOME KAPENTA IAM ZAMBIAN LIVING IN THE UK I MISS MY HOME FOOD WHERE ABOUT ARE YOU IN ZAMBIA SO I COME I COULD COME TO YOUR PLACE TO EAT SOME I WILL OF COURSE PAY FOR THAT. LOVE YOUR FOOD
Actually, they don't grow big. I don't know their biological name though. We also eat them in Namibia. They don't come from the sea, but from fresh water. In Namibia they are only available during the rainy seasons
Hi Bridget, to remove the sand you put the fish in a pan with NO OIL and on low heat, keep turning it and do this for roughly 10 mins, it should turn slightly brown, Make sure it doesn't burn. Then scoop the fish out(please don't dump everything into the water because the frying process will remove the sand) and place in warm water then drain and the sand will be gone. Hope that helps :D
🤣🤣🤣🤣 lol If you are going to be shady please know the country you wish to insult and use correct grammar. *food,*process,*Zambian,*worst. That's just the spellings.....🤣🤣🤣🤣

For us, we call it indagara@ Rwanda
Great video.. Help us with some more!
In Malaysia we eat it the same way too..we call it 'ikan bilis' or 'Anchovies' ( in English)
It really delicious..😋
In Uganda, we call it mukene. Very nutrient rich. We also dip it in water after dry roasting to get the sand out.
Salivating as it cooks 🤤🤤🤤
ZAMBIA AND UGANDA HAVE A LOT IN COMMON
We really do have a lot in common

Hi, like this method, how do I maintain the crunchiness of kapenta even after adding tomatoes? Usually mine turns back wet after tomatoes
Hi, please clarify that you dry fried the kapenta before soaking? I'm assuming this gets rid of the bitterness
Do i do the same for the really thick ones?
nice food wow
Thank you 😋
I love kapenta
They must be so tasty you couldn't wait for them to grow bigger.
Actually, they don't grow big. I don't know their biological name though. We also eat them in Namibia. They don't come from the sea, but from fresh water. In Namibia they are only available during the rainy seasons
