From Africa’s Waters to Your Table
Sleek Lates
Also known as Mikeke, this wild-caught delicacy is found only in Lake Tanganyika. Each piece is smoked to perfection, giving you a deep, unforgettable flavour.
Smoked flat Catfish
Carefully prepared and traditionally smoked to highlight its smooth texture and bold flavour. It pairs beautifully with tomato-based stews or mixed into vegetables like spinach, amaranth, or bean leaves.
Dagaa/ndagara
Dried sardines from Lake Tanganyika, known for their deep, savoury taste and versatility in stews and vegetable dishes.
Nile Perch
A smoked, wild-caught fish primarily found in Lake Victoria. Its firm, flavourful meat is especially delicious when cooked in a rich tomato sauce.
Our Story
Afia Muhimu began long before it became a business, it began in my mother’s kitchen in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Her resourcefulness and creativity brought our family together through meals made with love.
When I moved to Canada, I struggled to find the smoked and salted fish that carried the taste and memory of home. Store owners explained that shortages were constant, and quality was inconsistent.
So I decided to make a change.
Today, Afia Muhimu Foods brings reliable, high-quality African fish to families and retailers across Canada, while supporting the women who prepare these products with care and tradition.
