This recipe does not even come close to what Samaki wa kupaka really is. The dish looks wonderful but it is not samaki wa kupaka. And it is more commonly found in the coastal region of East Africa, my home. This is what it should look like:<br/><br/>http://www.swahilidelicacies.com/samaki-wa-kupaka-grilled-fish-with-coconut-sauce/<br/><br/>I do not own this website neither am I affiliated with it in anyway.
