Senegal’s Seashell Island - SHOCKING HOT PEPPER FISH!! Food + Culture in West Africa!

JOAL-FADIOUTH - Welcome to the peaceful town and island of Joal-Fadiouth, on the West Coast of Africa in Senegal. They are known for being a fishing village and for Fadiouth, which is an entire island made from seashells built upon each other. The village is home to both Christians and Muslims living in harmony. Today we’re eating a couple of local meals, including a massively spicy pepper fish soup and exploring the amazing culture of this island.

Next up we took a walk around Fadiouth Island, again an island built from a mountain of seashells. The island is walking only and you get there by crossing a bridge or taking a boat. We walked around the island, learning about their unique cultural identity and especially how both Christians and Muslims live together in harmony.

We then stopped for an afternoon snack, and a dish called fish pepper soup. This Senegalese food is simple, yet shockingly tasty. When I took my first bite, I almost couldn’t believe how much pepper there was - so good - shockingly good!

Mark's openness to explore any culture and any where is why he makes the best food content.

Senegalese sound very wise and have a lot to teach us about living together peacefully! Food looks great too!!

[dijacamara]

Sharing is part of the Senegalese society. Was taking that for granted until I left Senegal am a kind of lost cuz some African countries its “everyone for himself and God for us all. Thank you once again for sharing all these. So precious to my heart. I love you Senegal 🇸🇳 and I miss you 💚💚

Mark, you did it again… allowing the beautiful facets of Senegal to shine. May the peaceful cohabitation amongst Muslims, Christians and Animists sustain the test of time. Ohh that pepper soup looked sooo good. Bravo aux Sereres, sen bour contane na. A jaaraama

[PREPFORIT]

I love the No measuring spoon way of cooking So many generations of Grandmas and Grandads explaining a handful of this and a pinch of that..."
That is real cooking.

[niagnandiaye]

Thanks again Mark for advertising my country Senegal😍🥰.
And the food, I miss it😋😋.
JOAL is just beautiful

[TheBestFoodieShow]

I love the fact that you didn't go to the luxurious, expensive, tourist-centered places but the ordinary everyday places where most Senegalese eat.

[kcenzer]

Senegal viewing is now complete. I saw this first video last and came to learn of the utmost respect this culture places on Catholicism and
Muslim and whatever beliefs here. God will prevail....NOT anger, tribalism or wars. It is VERY unique. Thank you for sharing their cultures.
