Ground the onion. Peel the water yam. Wash the yam, and chop into small pieces.
Place the chopped up yam in a deep cooking pot. Add all other ingredients except fish.
Add 250ml of water and simmer for 1 hour. Remove the bones in the fish, break it, and wash. Add the fish to the boiling mixture. Mix the boiling mixture, and add a pinch of salt (to taste).
