Introduction '''''Enteromius perince''''', the '''three-spot barb''', is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus ''Enteromius'' which has a disjunct distributed from Guinea to Uganda, and throughout length of the Nile.
Human use At Shanhûr in Egypt, remains of a jar from the sixth- to seventh-century AD were unearthed that contained  fish bones. The fish were apparently pickled to produce a dish similar to the modern ''fesikh'' (or ''faseekh''). Among the ancient remains, barbs were plentiful, and Egyptians now still consider ''E. perince'' good for preparing ''fesikh'', as it is traditionally done for the ''Sham el-Nessim'' (spring festival) celebrations.
