Why don't we eat fish in our culture?

[Okoj]

Ive always wondered, why isn't fish a main dish in our culture? We've got the longest coastline in Africa.

Its seen as poor people food.

Hilib ari or we starve

I’ve heard it’s seen as less masculine. Tearing into some nice chicken or hilib ari is way cooler than weakly cutting up some fish.

That's where the 68 IQ comes from.

Poor people's food?

Take a look at Japan, and other rich countries and their love for fish. Do they look poor to you?

In Djibouti, we love eating fish. It's better than eating camels.

Doesn't Sea food costs more than land based meat?

Djiboutians eat fish regularly, once a week I believe

Give me hilib ari or give me death

Somalis hate being looked down upon, to proud for their own good.

Only some Somalis eat fish. The crazy ones don’t eat it.

I don't think so, considering alot of seafood goes unsold and expires in suuqs because the locals do not buy it

They even have ads now educating people that seafood is good for you in Kismaayo

Yeah, that's why they're stereotyped as being skinny?!?! Great way to avoid being looked down upon

Exactly eating meat too much is unhealthy. We must introduce vegetarian meals to Somalia and healthy deserts.

 

[Yeeyi]

I’ve heard it’s seen as less masculine. Tearing into some nice chicken or hilib ari is way cooler than weakly cutting up some fish.

I have even heard that even chiken had the same status before,not sure doe. I belive it's some pre-islamic belife that never really manage to die
Anyways it's a belife, Fish aka Salmon is so delicious

They sell fish in the markets as a delicacy. Maybe if they cook it better and treat it as a sidepiece on a main dish instead of a snack it will be more standardized.

So sad wallahi as a pescatarian. All hooyo knows is meat dishes everyday.

Low IQ. Ironically, consuming more fish and seafood would fix this.

 

[National Warrior]

Surprised we still have any fish left. Foreigners have been rinsing us for decades.

I hate fish btw.
