Coastal Cameroon’s Secret to Perfectly Seasoned Fish

Every coastal community has their way with fish, but Cameroon’s approach is legendary. Our traditional fish seasoning blend captures generations of culinary wisdom—the exact balance of spices that transforms grilled, fried, or stewed fish into something extraordinary. This is the seasoning that makes fish vendors’ stalls irresistible and home-cooked fish unforgettable.

The Authentic Blend

Carefully crafted from premium Cameroonian spices, this blend delivers the bold, aromatic profile that defines Central African seafood cooking. Savory depth meets warming heat, with herbal notes and a hint of citrus brightness that complements rather than masks the fish’s natural flavor.

Flavor Profile: Savory, moderately spicy, aromatic with herbal and citrus notes

Farm to Plate Journey

Each spice in this blend comes from small farms across Cameroon’s diverse regions—peppers from the sun-drenched north, aromatic herbs from the highlands, and coastal seasonings that have flavored fish for centuries. Ground and blended using traditional ratios passed down through generations of Cameroonian cooks.

Perfect For:

• Grilled fish (tilapia, mackerel, barracuda)
• Fried fish (the ultimate crispy coating)
• Fish pepper soup (poisson braisé style)
• Baked or steamed fish
• Seafood stews and sauces
• Prawns and shrimp
• Fish tacos with an African twist

How to Use

For Grilling/Frying: Rub generously over cleaned fish (inside and out), add a squeeze of lemon or lime, and let marinate for 15-30 minutes. The longer it sits, the deeper the flavor.

For Stews: Add 1-2 teaspoons per pound of fish during cooking. Adjust to taste.

Pro Technique: Mix with a little oil and fresh lemon juice to create a paste—perfect for coating fish before grilling over charcoal.
