Traditional fish making a comeback in Kisumu

Samuel Olum is on a mission to bring back once popular but endangered fish species. The fish have disappeared due to overfishing and the introduction of the cannibal Nile perch in Lake Victoria in the 1950s.

Already mud fish, commonly known as kamongo, is available at fishponds at Dunga, a stone’s throw away from the lake. Kamongo is a popular delicacy believed to have medicinal ingredients.
