đĄ Proffstips
- âChoose a firm white fish that holds its shape well during cooking.
- âIf you don't have okra, you can omit it or use a thickening agent like a cornstarch slurry.
- âFor a richer flavor, you can add a splash of lime juice at the end.
- âEnsure the stew is simmering gently when you add the fish to prevent it from breaking apart.
