POISSON YASSA (FISH YASSA)

Poisson Yassa (Fish Yassa) image

This is a traditional Senegalese recipe. It would take an ichthyologist to determine exactly what kind of fish are used to make this dish in Africa, and those fish may not be available elsewhere. Select any firm-fleshed fish that won't fall apart on the grill. Tilapia and Salmon work well.
