Cultural Story
In many West African homes, Eja Shawa Lilo is not just an ingredient — it’s a foundation of flavor. Mothers and grandmothers carefully selected, dried, and ground herring fish to enrich soups, stews, and sauces, often without written recipes. A pinch here, a spoon there, guided by instinct and experience. The aroma filling the house signaled that a proper meal was on the way. Grounded herring fish represents care, nourishment, and the wisdom passed down through generations — a reminder that food is deeply tied to family, memory, and identity.
