One dish that encapsulates this rich heritage is South African pickled fish.
Some variations include the addition of apricot jam, sultanas, or bay leaves to enhance the flavor further.
The longer the pickled fish is left to mature, the more pronounced the flavors become.
Each region adds its own unique twist, incorporating local ingredients and flavors.
In KwaZulu-Natal, the dish may be spiced with peri-peri or chili for an extra kick.
