Koobi fish

Koobi fish, also spelled as “kobi” or “kobi fish,” is a type of salted and dried fish commonly eaten in West African cuisine, particularly in Ghana. It’s made from various types of fish, including herrings, mackerel, or tilapia. The fish is cleaned, salted, and dried in the sun or by smoking, resulting in a preserved product with a long shelf life.

Koobi fish is a staple ingredient in many Ghanaian dishes, adding a distinctive flavor and texture. It’s often used to flavor soups, stews, and sauces, such as the popular Ghanaian dish “kontomire stew” or “kontomire soup,” which features boiled cocoyam leaves and palm nut soup flavored with koobi fish.
