Blend the shallots, onion, habanero peppers, and seasonings (Maggi cubes, salt, black pepper) until roughly chopped.

Add 8 cups of water to a large pot and bring to a boil.

Add the blended vegetable mixture to the boiling water.

Cook until the vegetables are tender and the fish is cooked through, then remove the fish gently to prevent breaking.
