Somalia;
Seaside resort, Indian Ocean and the longest coastline in Africa. Soon as you
finish that starting line in this article, I have a slight feeling you might be
craving for fish. No? Well I guess you a Somali like me.
Ever
since I can remember, we are a nation who loves our meat. You cannot show me a
menu where meat is not involved. Impossible! Meat has evolved around my life
from day one. Steak, lamb, beef, (Our favourite cuisine, Xiilib Aari) and will
do till I change my mind.
But
we have to inquire ourselves, with a vast quantity of fish in our shores; one must
ask, why on earth aren't we eating all that fish? Is there something in our DNA
which bans fish? And why haven’t we taken advantage of our long coastline with
all that cuisine?
I
am not here to say not all of us don’t eat fish. Yes, there are many people in
our community whose diet only consists of fish. But I am talking about from my observance
through my lifetime with the general community, including myself.
Fish
is a healthy choice of food. There are plenty of advantages when one eats it.
It has all sorts of vitamins (Vitamin A, C, and D.) It’s also common knowledge that
it’s good for the brain.
I
guess meat will be done for me very soon. Since I've been here back home, I have one
full target and that is consume more fish then meat in order to balance my diet. Although I must admit that I do love my
meat, the marine life is something I'm trying to familiarize myself.
