Add the 4 ripe tomatoes to the pan. Simmer for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes cook down into a thick sauce.

Gently add the fried fish pieces into the tomato mixture. Turn the heat down to a simmer, cover with a lid, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes.

- Use ripe, juicy tomatoes to ensure the sauce has the right consistency without needing much extra liquid.
- The fish can be any variety like salmon, cod, or kingfish.
