Go to the fish vendor and buy fresh fish, avoiding frozen fish.

Clean the tomatoes off camera and place them on a tray.

Bake the tomatoes in the oven for about 25 minutes.

Cut the fresh fish and add vinegar to it, letting it sit for about 10-12 minutes to absorb the smell.

Blend the baked tomatoes until smooth, noting the vibrant color.

Grill the fish in an air fryer for 45 minutes at 190°C, turning occasionally.

Heat oil in a pot and add curry powder and thyme to aromatize it.

Add chopped red onions and sauté for about 30-40 seconds.

Add the blended tomato mixture to the pot and mix well.

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and two seasoning cubes.

Add enough canned fish to enhance the flavor without over-seasoning.

Cover the pot and lower the flame, allowing the mixture to fry until the color darkens and oil floats on top.

Add the fish to the pot, saving some for later use, and remove the fish head if desired.

Add stock water to loosen the stew and prevent it from becoming too thick.

Gently mix the stew to avoid breaking the fish, then cover and let it cook until done.
