Seafood Okro soup is a delicious and nutritious dish believed to have originated from the riverine area of southern Nigeria. It combines the flavours of seafood and okra, making it an excellent choice for seafood lovers. The soup uses fresh seafood such as shrimp, fish, crab, fresh okra, tomatoes, onions, and spices. The seafood is cooked in a flavourful broth made from a combination of fish stock and vegetable stock. The okra is then added to the soup and cooked until tender. The result is a thick and hearty soup that is packed with flavour.

Instructions
- Cut the fish into manageable pieces after cleaning. Some fishmongers can do this for you.

- When preparing soup, you can chop the peppers to your liking and add them to the soup, blend them, or pound them in a mortar.

- In a pot, add 2 cups of water, fish, stock cubes, pepper, palm oil, iru, and salt.

- Please remove the fish from the sauce. (The fish sauce will be reintroduced)
- Do not cover the pot after okra has been introduced into the pot. If you do, the okra will not keep its resilience.
- Taste for salt and seasoning, adjust as necessary, reduce heat, and simmer for 3minutes.
- The heat from the pan will continue cooking the okra for about two more minutes after removing it from heat, so be cautious not to overcook.
- Empty the soup into a cool bowl to retain the freshness of the Okra and the vegetables.
