Hahaha..that was funny. I've never eaten such a fish, infact the first time I ate fish in my life was after I came abroad (funny I know) and it was salmon, which I still can't eat alot and then I discovered other types of fish. To garnish is to make a meal look good, or to decorate it, and you can do that with "taste" in consideration, by adding items that enhance the taste of the food and not just for aesthetic purposes.

In Kenya, I know those joints don't know how garnish food, because no one really cares there as long as the taste is good. I have nightmares of my dad taking us to eat "chemsha" when we were little ,to me it was distasteful to my personal taste and embarassing. I wonder why parents like embarassing their children like that. Anyway now I can go to those joints but sio kila siku.

One thing about food abroad is that it must be garnished, equal effort is placed on garnishing the meal just as dilligently as it's done on the taste. Seriously I would never eat that ugly fish on your plate, it looks so sad, like it was massacared or beaten to death before cooking.

ehhh, if u only knew, some of us eat that fish once in a while coz the price is not wallet friendly 2 some of us. It costs 150Ksh @ my favourite joint WAMBUGU in parklands oop. the law campus. If u saw me dismantlng that fish i assure u u will ask 4 it. nashika kichwa naipasua katikati, take a chunk of flesh from it natumbukiza kwa kachumbari huku the left hand ina bonyeza ugali ndani ya stew. wewe iki ingia kwa tumbo, hata u dont wanna know auuuwiiiii

LOL Mwathara , a chunk of flesh from the head? Those are cannibalistic tendancies. 150Ksh? Thats the price of two local tomatoes here
