In a large pot, combine the fresh fish pieces, smoked fish, crabs (if using), salted fish (if using), blended onion, grated ginger, minced garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper. Add enough water to cover the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes to create a flavorful broth.

While the broth is simmering, prepare the okra. Trim the ends and slice the okra into desired sizes. Some prefer finely chopped, others larger pieces.

Add the sliced okra to the simmering broth. Stir well. If using shrimp, add them at this stage.

Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the okra is tender and has developed its characteristic slimy texture. Stir occasionally.

If using spinach or other leafy greens, add them in the last 5 minutes of cooking, allowing them to wilt.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and seasoning cubes as needed. The salted fish will add some saltiness, so season cautiously.
