It is good practice to wash your dried catfish before using it to cook your soups, stews, yam porridge, or other delicacy. When you wash with hot water you kill bacteria that might be in the fish. Also, dust and smoke dissolve out leaving your smoked and dried catfish ready for cooking.
What you need
- Dried catfish
- Hot boiled water
- A bowl
- A fork or spoon
Method
- Bring the required number of pieces of catfish you need for your cooking out of the pack and put them in the bowl.

- Leave to settle for a minute.
