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.

La Taverne du Pêcheur (https://goo.gl/maps/Qmw2AdicnPje8osx7) – We’re starting the day at La Taverne du Pêcheur, a restaurant at the base of the island, just before you cross over the bridge. The restaurant is known for its food and you can order local seafood and local dishes like millet couscous with a variety of seafood. We were able to see the entire cooking process, making fish stew and a bunch of side dishes. I love the use of chilies, garlic, onions, and lime juice within almost all the recipes.

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!

  17. Only I don't like the way Arab, African and central Asian people eat from the same plate with their hands. we are Muslims in Bangladesh but don't eat from the same plate and it is the same culture of India not to contaminate or get the disease from other people eating together.

  30. Awesome looking food – hard for me to get into eating that way. Guide was sticking all his fingers in his mouth & dipping right into the food again. You end up swapping spit.

    Not happening.
