Point & Kill

(Catfish Pepper Soup)

The intricately named point and kill is a traditional soup that's served in most restaurants and bars. It's made with a combination of catfish, pepper soup spices, onions, utazi leaves, fish seasoning, ground crayfish, seasoning cubes, paprika, salt, and ground pepper.


The soup is usually prepared in a small pot – the catfish comes first, followed by salt, seasonings, crayfish, pepper, and water. Once done, the soup is usually served as it is or as a side dish. It can be accompanied by boiled plantains, potatoes, or yams.


The name of the soup refers to the process of pointing out the exact live catfish a customer wants in the restaurant (they usually swim around in big tanks), and the cooks then kill the fish and make pepper soup out of it.
