In a pot, heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down, about 8-10 minutes.

Add the cut matoke pieces to the pot. Pour in the water, season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the matoke is tender.

While the matoke is cooking, heat the remaining 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the marinated fish in the hot oil and fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Once the matoke is tender, stir in the sliced onions and cook for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
