Meanwhile wash the smoked dry fish with salt and soak in boiling water for 10 minutes to loosen any sand and kill any insect present. Rinse thoroughly with lots of cold water.

Add the stock fish, dry fish and snails to the pot of meat and cook for 10 minutes. Add the oil and ground lbaba. Stir thoroughly to slightly thicken.
