Women in Nyeri have admitted that they cannot cook fish even though it has become a popular delicacy locally.
Margaret Gichuhi confessed that she only tried cooking fish once and the result was disastrous.
She swore never to try it again.

“I bought fish fillet, put some oil in a pan, cut up some onions and tomatoes and placed the fish on top. Unfortunately, after a few minutes, my fish fillet looked like rice,” Ms Gichuhi said.
