Add the assorted meats to the pot and brown them slightly. Add smoked fish and shrimp, then pour in water to cover the ingredients. Add bouillon cubes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until meats are tender, about 30-40 minutes.

While the meat is simmering, prepare the okra. In a separate pot, add the chopped okra, tomatoes, bell pepper, and habanero pepper (if using). Cook over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to help reduce the slime.

Add the okra mixture to the pot with the meats and fish. Stir well to combine. Continue to simmer for another 20-30 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the flavors have melded.
