Quick Answer: Nigerians love all three, but Titus (mackerel) is the classic go-to for rich, flavorful stew. Panla (stockfish) gives a traditional taste, while catfish adds that fresh, juicy bite especially in pepper soup and fresh stews.
Let's Break it Down
Titus (Mackerel)
Let’s start with Titus. For many of us, this is the classic. Fried Titus inside tomato stew and served with rice? That’s a childhood memory right there. The fish is oily, meaty, and holds its shape even after frying. Abroad, whenever Nigerians find Titus in African stores, it goes straight into the basket.
Best For: Classic Nigerian tomato stew
with rice, yam, or beans.

Panla (Hake Fish)
Panla is in a class of its own. Nigerians love it for the distinctive, smoky flavor it brings. Once soaked and softened, Panla adds that unforgettable umami depth to stews, okra soup, and sauces. Apart from the taste, it’s also protein-packed and rich in omega-3s, making it a healthy addition to meals.
For many Nigerians abroad, just the aroma of Panla cooking in palm oil stew is enough to transport them straight home.
Perfect for: Tomato stews, okra soup, ogbono, and egusi.

Catfish
Now, catfish is in a league of its own. Fresh, tender, and juicy. The way it absorbs pepper and spice makes it perfect for pepper soup and light tomato stews. The only issue? It breaks apart quickly, so you need to handle it with care. Still, one taste of catfish stew, and you’ll understand why it has die-hard fans.
Best For: Catfish pepper soup, light tomato stew with yam or plantain.
So, Which One Wins?
Honestly? It depends on your mood. Titus is the all-rounder, Panla brings that deep traditional flavor, and catfish gives you fresh juiciness. Nigerians don’t pick one forever; we rotate depending on the dish and occasion.

Herpes is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), prompting many to wonder how to get rid of herpes naturally. The herpes virus can live dormant inside a person’s immune system for a lifetime, periodically causing blisters that burst and turn into open cold sores or ulcers before healing. When left alone, herpes cold sores usually last about 10–14 days and are uncomfortable for a variety of reasons — causing redness, pain, burning and often embarrassment. I was a victim of this Awful Herpes Simplex Virus and I am thankful to Herbalist Razor For The Good and miraculous work he did for me. After Going through His Website : https://herbalistrazorherb.wixsite.com/drrazorherbalhome I only took his medicine For 18 days .

HOW I WAS SCAMMED OFF $140,000 AND RECOVERED IT SUCCESSFULLY
As a farmer, I work long hours caring for cattle’s, but I never imagined I would fall victim to a scam that cost me my hard-earned savings. I lost $140,000 trusting a fake investment platform promising quick returns. Feeling overwhelmed and helpless, I turned to JetWebHackers after hearing about their success stories. To my surprise, their team acted swiftly. Within 72 hours, they tracked down the scammers and recovered my funds. Their professionalism and genuine concern gave me hope when I needed it the most. Thanks to JetWebHackers, I regained my financial stability and peace of mind. Recently, I also received a blank ATM card from them, which I’ve used to withdraw $15,000. It’s been a blessing, especially during these tough times. I understand it may be illegal, but for those in dire need, it’s a lifeline. If you’re ever in a difficult financial situation or have been scammed, I highly recommend reaching out to JetWebHackers. They truly care about helping people rebuild their lives.
