Heat oil in a pot until slightly hot.

Add half of the diced onion to the pot and reserve the other half for later.

Sprinkle some salt over the onions and sauté for a few minutes until they release flavor without burning.

Add the pepper mix (onion, tomatoes, bell pepper, habanero) to the pot and stir.

Cook the pepper mix for a few minutes until it thickens; do not add water while blending the peppers.

Check the stew to ensure it has cooked down and thickened before adding the fish.

Wash the mackerel and salt it lightly, then allow it to drain.

Add the reserved onions to the pot along with the mackerel.

Add Maggie cubes and grate in a small piece of ginger and one clove of garlic directly into the stew.

Add all-purpose seasoning to enhance the flavor of the stew.

Ensure the stew covers the fish well to allow it to steam and absorb flavors.

Cover the pot and let the stew cook for a few minutes, checking for oil rising to the surface as an indicator of cooking.

Prepare fresh okra by cutting it and soaking it in water for a few minutes to activate its sliminess.

Add the soaked okra to the pot and season with salt and additional all-purpose seasoning if desired.

Cook the okra for about 5 minutes until tender and slimy.

Serve the fish stew with rice or beans.
