Clean the frozen red snapper by removing the scales, especially around the head.

Open the fish and remove any debris inside.

Mark the fish with cuts on both sides to allow seasoning to penetrate.

Prepare a cleaning solution of water with lime juice and salt, optionally adding vinegar.

Rinse the fish in cold water, ensuring it is clean without using hot water.

Mix dry spices with a little olive oil and scotch bonnet pepper, then marinate the fish with this mixture, ensuring it is well coated.

Let the fish marinate for 30 to 45 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Heat oil in a pot over medium heat.

Add chopped tomatoes to the pot and let the water dry to thicken the gravy.

Carefully add the marinated fish to the pot, flipping gently to avoid breaking it.

Add water to the pot, pouring it on the side to avoid disturbing the fish.

Add chopped onions and sweet peppers to the pot.
