Preparation method
Wash your seafood properly,
Season the seafood with seasoning cubes and salt in a stock pot.
Allow to steam for 7 minutes. Put down.
In another pot, put your palm oil and fry your chopped onions for a minute.
Add your blended tomatoes, pepper and crayfish. For a more authentic taste, add traditional okpei, otherwise known as locust beans. You can choose to blend in a blender or do it with a mortar and pestle – whichever you prefer.
It should look like this when you add the blend into the palm oil.
Allow to boil for 5 to 10 minutes or allow the water content to be reduced.
Add your seafood stock and your finely diced okra and boil for 5 minutes.
Add your fish and add salt to taste, sprinkle your leaf, cook for 3mins ……and boom.
Serve with eba or pounded yam or other swallow foods. You can also just enjoy it on its own because it is that good.
