Delicious fisherman soup

WHAT IS THAT SPECIAL RECIPE PECULIAR TO MY COUNTRY?

Fresh fish soup funly called (fisherman soup) is a perculiar and loveable soup in my country Nigeria that all the tribe like to eat.

IS THERE ANY HISTORY ABOUT IT ?

YES

Nigeria is blessed with many rivers, and fishing is an olden profession in Nigeria, dominant among people in riverine area and gendered occupation, only men use to go for fishing and this makes it proof of man's adaptation to his environment. Availability of fish use to fluctuate and fishes will move in tidal way so this made fishermen to migrate along with flow of water in search of and to catch fishes, this makes them to build temporary settlement for themselves to live and return on yearly basis.

Since they tag it men occupation, women do not use to follow, so when they men want to travel for fishing their wife will gather all food stuff for them, that will take for sometime. When this men came back from fishing they will be tired and all they can cook and eat is fresh fish soup (Fisherman soup) do you why they called it Fisherman soup, because they will put perewinkle, lobster, crab, stockfish etc in fact all the things from the sea,they prepare/ made this soup from their catches of the day, so the delecacy was invented by Fishermen.
