Grilled Fish with Fumbwa is the plate that defines Ma Yve Grill. We start with whole tilapia, marinated in lemon, garlic, and traditional Congolese spices, then grill it over charcoal until the skin is crispy and golden and the flesh flakes apart with a fork.
The fish is paired with fumbwa, our signature cassava leaves slow-simmered in rich palm oil for hours until they melt into a silky, savory bed. Every bite of fish dragged through the fumbwa is a revelation of smoke, earth, and ocean. This Grilled Fish with Fumbwa plate is how Sunday lunch is served in Kinshasa: generous, warm, and deeply satisfying.
We complete the plate with kwanga, sliced fermented cassava bread with a subtle tang that balances the richness of the palm oil and the char of the grill. The kwanga is perfect for scooping up every last drop of the fumbwa sauce.
Allergen note: Contains palm oil. Gluten-free. Dairy-free. Peanut-free.
Serving suggestion: Squeeze fresh lemon over the fish and pair with a cold Jus de Bissap.
