3 tablespoons lemon juice or 3 tablespoons lime juice
2 cups water
2 teaspoons butter

Place fish with all ingredients into a saucepan and cook gently until fish is cooked, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Place frozen okra in boiling water. Cook until just barely tender.
In a medium size saucepan, bring 21/2 cups water to a boil.

Let cornmeal cook for about a minute, then add the rest of the cornmeal into the pan in a slow steady stream, while stirring constantly.
Add hot cooked okra to cooked cornmeal. Stir well.
Then, stir in the butter, salt and pepper, to taste.
Simmer for about 5 minutes more.
