Kenkey with Fish in Accra costs GHS 15–30 where residents buy it, and GHS 25–50 in the parts of the city built around visitors.

The gap here is a location gap, not a quality gap. Kitchens in Accra buy from the same suppliers; what changes is whether you are sitting somewhere with foot traffic worth paying for.
Treat GHS 30 as the ceiling for a fair price in Accra, with GHS 23 as the everyday midpoint. Quotes at GHS 50 are not scams in any legal sense — they are simply priced for someone who will not check.
None of this is unique to Accra — it is how pricing works across most of Ghana — but the size of the gap is local, and it is large enough here to be worth thirty seconds of attention before you hand over money.
