Add fresh mackerel fish, crabs, seasoning cube and salt Cook until fish is done.
Once fish is done, remove fish from soup. This will ensure that the fish don't fall apart or breakdown due to vigorous stirring.
Add clams, shrimps and periwinkle. These are added towards the end because they have a shorter cooking time.
After a few minutes, add the okra and onions and stir vigorously for a minute. Then add pumpkin leaves or any green leafy vegetable of your choice. Add the fish back to the soup and cook for about five minutes. Okra too has a shorter time. When you cook it too long, it looses its viscosity.
