Bokkoms [SEP] country of origin
Bokkoms
Bokkoms (or Bokkems) is whole, salted and dried mullet (more specifically the Southern mullet, "Liza richardsonii", a type of fish commonly known in the Western Cape of South Africa as "harders"), and is a well-known delicacy from the West Coast region of South Africa. This salted fish is dried in the sun and wind and is eaten after peeling off the skin. In some cases it is also smoked. It is sometimes referred to as "fish biltong".
from the European method of making dried herring, bokkoms use a different species of fish (the mullet) and do not regularly make use of smoking in preparation of the delicacy.
