Chinese-style steamed makes for a stunning presentation

Chinese-style steamed fish is one of those fancy dishes you'd expect to see at a restaurant rather than on your own dinner table. However, Red House Spice claims that it is simpler to make than you might think! It's essentially a steamed fish from head to tail. What's the advantage? Fans of this cooking method swear that it helps the fish retain all of its natural flavors — and for fish lovers everywhere, that's a big deal.

Any white-flesh fish will work for this method, but there is one caveat: because you'll be cooking it whole, you'll need to go to a fish market or a grocery store where you know they sell very fresh, whole fish. It's critical — attempting it with frozen fish will result in a completely different texture, and no one wants questionably textured fish. You'll also be able to have a fishmonger's gut and descale your fish for you, which is work you'll be glad to delegate. Choosing aromatics is the most enjoyable part, and once the steaming process begins, you'll have a delicious meal ready in about eight minutes.
