Fish fries are more than just a meal in the Black community they represent faith, fellowship, survival, and celebration. From West African cooking traditions to church fundraisers and Friday night gatherings, fried fish has always brought us together.
In this video, I’m sharing the history and serving it up with classic hushpuppies and coleslaw. 🖤🍽️

Good Job! Great video and presentation. Our history needs to be preserved in this world that is seeking to erase it. B1

thank you for sharing this bit of history. We need to re-educate our younger generation into the struggles trials and tribulations of our ancestors so that they could stop taking it for granted also for the people here today that are just willing to give away our culture maybe a reminder such as what you put out will help. Thank you so much and happy Black History Month.❤
