Steps:

• In a large kettle, combine the fish bones and heads, the whole onion, the annatto seeds and bay leaf with 5 quarts of water. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil.

• When the squash is cooked, increase the heat to medium and stir in the cooked onions, the whiting and the squid. Season with salt and pepper and simmer 5 minutes. Place the stew in a large serving bowl and garnish with the chorizo and rosemary. Serve immediately.
