Fish Engenamathambo!

Fish enganamathambo. The best national lunch for every township in South Africa, fish and chips is one of the Mzansi’s favorite takeaway meals, and it’s incredibly easy to prepare at home. The traditional recipe calls for fillets of cod or haddock that are first evenly coated in a batter made of just flour, water, and baking soda and then fried in beef lard, while potatoes, which are cut somewhat thicker than regular French fries, are double fried to make them crispier. For serving, fish and chips are just sprinkled with salt and vinegar. Variations on the recipe include using sparkling water or beer instead of tap water, adding milk or eggs to the batter or frying the fish and potatoes in vegetable oil instead of lard. You can find this fish and chips only at Barcelona and it’s also delivered all around Gauteng for large orders of fish.
