Soak the hard stockfish in hot water for about 30 minutes.

Clean the fish and marinate it with salt, covering it for about 15 minutes.

Blend the red bell pepper, dehydrated bell peppers, scotch bonnet, onions, garlic, ginger, and fresh tomatoes together.

Fry onions and garlic in oil to add flavor before frying the fish.

Add the marinated fish to the hot oil and fry until well cooked, then set aside.

In the same pot, add the oil used for frying the fish and sauté the onions for about 2 minutes.

Add the blended vegetable mixture to the pot without boiling or steaming it beforehand.

Add curry, nutmeg, Maggi seasoning, salt, white pepper, and one tablespoon of shrimp powder to the pot.

Add bay leaves to the mixture and cover the pot, cooking for about 1 hour and 20 minutes on medium heat to allow the flavors to meld.

After 1 hour and 20 minutes, add the fried fish to the stew and let it cook for another 10 minutes.
