Fresh water fish is best cooked in curry style, my all time fav

i like my fish fresh from the sea, clean and steam immediately. the taste is heaven!!!!

I only know how to eat. Me no expert in what are the sea fish and fresh water fish. Can you bro experts tell some species in popular fish dishes we eat from both sides, just some will do for me to get a rough idea what's what.

I'm not a sea water fish fan, meat a bit tougher, lesser bones, fucking hate sea bass....
Some nice sea water fishes: Soon Hock, Cod fish, Garoupa

I like fresh water fishes, meat a bit tender, muddy taste (can be detox away by putting the fishes in clean water for 2-3 days), a lot of bones.
Some nice fresh water fishes: Catfish, Patin fish, Snakefish (Toman)

Difference is the fish is steamed without the ingredients. Ingredients and sauce are cooked seperately and pour onto fish later.

I think you mean Cantonese steam?
Soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, shallots, spring onion, pepper, sugar, salt, black sauce.
Best to use bamboo steamer.

I do believe shallot is the thing that brings out the sweetness of the sauce..

Soon hock can be both a fresh water or sea water fish.Fresh water ones are found in earth drains or streams.
There used to be angLers using nets catching fresh soon hock at Joan Road, where the rows of nurseries are.
There runs an earth drain up to JaLan Mashor..

 

[bushtucker]

now there are so many canton zi char shops which claim to be from Hong Kong Street Zhen Ji.

and the signature dishes are always prawn paste chicken and XO fish head bee hoon.

so which shop is the real deal??
