Cooking in Gambia
Boboi specialises in good quality and fresh local cuisine, which means fish, rice and vegetables. Gambians like chillies but you tell us how you like your food. Here are our favourites.

Fish Benachin. Benachin means one pot in Wolof. The fish is fried in very hot oil and then taken out. A tomato sauce is added and vegetables. When this is cooked the rice goes into the liquid. The result is a risotto.

Fish Stew: Fish cooked in a tomato sauce with white rice.

Pepper Soup: Fish cooked in a rich soup with white rice.

Fish Yassa: Barbequed fish

Domada: A rich peanut sauce into which you can add meat, vegetables or fish.

Fish and Chips: Fresh fish fillet in a batter, chips cooked freshly for you and salad.

We will put up specials on the blackboard as they happen and we can also do picnics and river and beach barbeques.

ENJOY.
