steamed fish
Hot, moist-cooked catch
Steamed fish is fish cooked by steam rather than direct heat, preserving moisture and delicate flavor.
The technique is central to Cantonese cuisine, where whole fish is steamed with ginger, scallions, and soy sauce: The steamed fish arrived at the table still sizzling with hot oil.
The method suits lean, mild-flavored fish that would dry out with other cooking methods.
