About Chambo

Maldeco Fisheries presents whole chambo fried with herbs and spices, alongside potatoes. This named Malawian producer’s version keeps the fish whole and follows the familiar fried-fish form.

Thyme, garlic and paprika flavour the fish, with salt providing the seasoning. Parsley and butter accompany the potatoes, adding herbal and dairy richness beside the fish.

The fish has a golden fried surface and occupies the plate with its potato accompaniment. The preparation preserves the contrast between the whole fish and separate, simply seasoned vegetables.
