Grounded Herring Fish, locally known as Eja Shawa Lilo, is a deeply flavorful traditional ingredient widely used in Nigerian and West African cooking. Carefully dried and finely ground, this herring fish powder delivers an intense, smoky seafood taste that instantly elevates soups, stews, sauces, and vegetable dishes.
In many African homes, Eja Shawa Lilo is a secret ingredient passed down through generations. Just a spoonful adds richness and depth to classic meals such as okra soup, egusi, ogbono, efo riro, and pepper sauces. Its strong aroma and savory flavor bring back memories of home cooking, shared meals, and family traditions.
Packaged in a resealable pouch for freshness and convenience, this grounded herring fish is easy to store and use whenever you want to recreate authentic African flavors in your kitchen.

I knew this from the Caribbean when I left the country. It's the number one season in the Caribbean I fell in love with the seasoning it's good on everything I will continue to use that only
Not sure but I wanted to try the product because I heard good reviews from other people, but I’ve never bought from this actual store and it made me break out in hives.
I bought this in Ghana 6 years ago, and was devastated that I couldn't find it anywhere in the US. Its great that I found a site that holds it. Its extremely moisturizing and silky, it makes my skin feel and smell fantastic. It has a strong coco butter scent, but it isn't pure coco butter. So if you're looking for that, this isn't the product for you. Its like a coco butter lotion.
My order arrived on time and was surprisingly well packaged. I was worried because I’ve ordered from other African sellers online, and my packages have arrived broken due to poor packaging or without tracking updates. I used this order as a test, and I’ll definitely be ordering more from Yado soon.
