Préparation

Rinse the banana leaves and soften them briefly over a flame or in hot water so they fold without tearing.
Season the fish inside and out with salt and lemon juice and set it aside for 15 minutes.
Mix the tomatoes, onion, garlic, chili, celery leaves, and palm oil.
Lay each fish on a banana leaf, cover it with the vegetable mixture, and wrap the leaf tightly into a parcel.
Steam the parcels over boiling water, or grill them over moderate coals, for about 35 to 40 minutes until the fish flakes.
Serve the parcels closed so each person opens the leaf at the table.
