Steps

1

Steam the fish and reserve its stock.

On a clean and heated pot, add the coconut oil. Pulse the watermelon seeds in a blender until a fine powder is achieved. Pour in a bowl and add some water to make a paste.
3

Pour the watermelon paste in the pot, stirring consistently on a reduced or low flame for about 15 minutes. Add the tomato paste and continue stirring for about an additional 10 minutes.
4

Add the reserved fish stock (3 - 4 cups) to the pot. Add the crayfish, blended onion and the peppers. Stir properly, cover and bring to a boil (on a high heat). Then reduce the flame to medium low and allow to cook until it thickens more.
