Common questions
What do you eat with kenkey?
Fried fish or grilled tilapia, hot pepper (shito), and sometimes fried plantain. Ga kenkey is the Accra classic.
How much is kenkey and fish in Accra?
We do not have a verified kenkey price yet. None of the venue menus on ChopRadar list it, so rather than guess a figure we would rather tell you we do not know. It is one of the cheaper plates in Accra, and what moves the price is the fish and how much pepper and shito come with it. If you run a spot that serves kenkey, send us your prices and we will publish them.
