Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the marinated fish until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes each side.

Remove the fish from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

In the same oil, sauté chopped onions, tomatoes, bell pepper, and scotch bonnet pepper until soft, about 5-7 minutes.

Add cayenne pepper and seasoning cubes to the sautéed mixture and stir well.

Return the fried fish to the skillet, coating it with the sauce.

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Serve hot with rice or plantains.
