Chop parsley, scallions, and thyme; add to the pot along with pimento and ryrie peppers.

Grate ginger and add it to the pot with tomato and tomato paste; sauté for about 4 minutes.

Add water (4 cups) to the pot; season with salt and black pepper, being cautious of the salt since the fish is already seasoned.

Cover the pot and let the mixture simmer for about 20 minutes.

Add the fried fish to the pot, cover, and let it simmer until cooked through.

Finish with fresh basil (madman poke) on top before serving.
