Aklor

 Aklor is a simple Ghana­ian dish typically pre­pared with fish and pep­per sauce and often served with banku.

The process involves boiling the fresh fish, grinding pep­per and spices, and mix with the cooked fish for a meal.

Traditionally, Ga fishermen eat this meal while at sea, us­ing seawater to boil the fish, which sustains them until they return to shore.

It’s one of the quickest and most delicious meals they enjoy.
