  6. Stir well and press on the prawn pulp to get as much juice out of it as possible. Then get rid of the pulp. Check the seasoning of the prawn stock and add extra pepper or salt to taste if necessary. Add water if it is too strong. Place the prawn stock back over medium heat. Dice the fish into bite-size pieces.
