Steamed Sea Bass "蒸鲈鱼" | Cooking Club Co.

Steamed Sea Bass – 蒸鲈鱼

Steamed fish is a must have traditional dish during Chinese New Year. In Mandarin, fish is called “Yu” which also sound like “surplus”. Chinese people believe that it is a good thing to always have more than what one needs. When you steam a fish, you get to savour the natural flavor and tenderness of the fish. You can also choose to elevate the taste with a drizzle of hot peanut oil (we strongly recommend this).

If you’re looking for fresh, locally caught seafood, you can purchase them directly at My Fishman’s website. They do deliver to your home 😉
