Steamed Red Grouper
Hello everyone
I saw this fish is labelled as red grouper in Swansea Market
I don't know what kind of this grouper in Chinese
I bought it for a try
I bought it for £ 5.8
It weighed 300g
I go home and aware that the fishmonger did not scale and gut the fish for me
I have to handle myself
I rarely gut the fish
It is better to descale before to gut a fish
Drain the read grouper after washing
Drain the abdominal cavity as well
Lay some of spring onions on the bottom of the plate
Rack up the fish
Would have been better placed across the plate
To suit my plate
the spring onions are placed horizontally
Someone would rack the fish with chopsticks
The steam can pass through the fish beneath
Start steaming after the water has boiled
Steam for 6 minutes with a fish weighed 600 g
For 1200g has to steam 12 minutes
Though this fish weighed 300g
I still steam it for 6 minutes at high heat
Normally home stove is weaker a bit
It has steamed for 6 minutes
If afraid of not fully cooked
Turn off the heat and rest for 1 minute with lid on
It has rested for 1 minute
My spouse prefer to have cooked rice in this fish sauce
Pour in seafood soy sauce into the saucepan
