Recipe from the Taste Of The Place cookbook. I love Chinese-style steamed fish-fresh-from-the-tank live fish steamed with soy sauce and topped with shredded ginger, scallions, and cilantro leaves. To me, nothing tastes as satisfying as steamed fish with white rice, drizzled with the soy sauce from the steamed fish. Sometimes, I can just eat bowls and bowls of white rice with the soy sauce.

Kingsley says steaming is a popular Cantonese culinary technique that produces delicious, healthy, and moist foods. It is an especially great way to cook fish. If you don't have a wok, don't fret; you can steam the fish on a rack in a deep pan that has a lid or in a lidded steamer basket. Though we are using a Cantonese way of making steamed fish, please note that in Cantonese cuisine, where sea fish is mostly used for steamed fish, marinating is not needed. Clear the fish, dry and steam directly with highest fire.
