As a American born cantonese, I grew up on eating steamed fish topped with scallions/ginger every week (still do, as I still live with my parents, spoiled I know). It is definitely one of my favorite style to eat it. It is such a clean way to eat a fish, capturing the essence of what a fish should taste like without over saucing or topping it. Well done Lucas!

@operative2136 8 месяцев назад

As a Canadian born cantonese, I also grew up eating steamed fish topped with scallions/ginger. Unfortunately, where we lived we didn't have access to fresh grouper or sole, so we ended up substituting the types of fish that were available. Pickerel was a common choice for my family in particular.

@GDIGhostStalker 8 месяцев назад

American born Chinese here as well, either my mom or my grandfather would buy a fish, usually a tilapia, at the local Chinese supermarket in either Manhattan Chinatown or Elmhurst or Flushing at least once a week and steam it with ginger and scallion for dinner. Nowadays, just living with my aunt, we’ve somewhat downgraded to salmon steaks/filets, but the thought is still there.

Do you have fresh fish in the states?

@sherrinunya4079 5 месяцев назад

@yrrekad Yes we do but it's not always as fresh as this. We live on the Atlantic side so fresh fish is plentiful. The people in the middle of the usa rarely get it this fresh as the seas are too far away. Fresh frozen is everywhere. ✌🏽

I loved it when the proprietress/steamed fish lady stood next to the table. She had a gentle smile on her face and looked so proud as Lucas and his dad were so obviously enjoying and praising her handiwork. A great moment in this video. And, of course, Lucas was his magical self as always. Imparting his knowledge and showing us the way.

@colorrr34 8 месяцев назад

I don't know how people normally have their fish in their culture. But in Hong Kong, 清蒸 is the best respect we can do to the fish and enjoy it just as it is. I can't express how important this way of cooking is for every Hong Konger.

@dh5363 8 месяцев назад

Sashimi?

@dumboelefunt4690 8 месяцев назад

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@@dh5363steamed. 清 literally means clear/pure, but here is means “without additional flavoring” but that’s usually not the case as ginger, chinese chives and sometimes wine is used in the steaming process, mostly to remove the fishy smell. 蒸 means to steam. This type of fish is usually served with soy sauce. Imo this cooking method really highlights the quality of the fish, as the only thing you’ll taste is the flavor of the fish (other than sashimi of course)

Growing up Cantonese in the States, my parents would make steamed fish exactly like this almost every week, and eating it that often, I grew tired of it. Seeing in this video how Lucas explains the simplicity and beauty of the dish feels like a re-introduction to Cantonese steamed fish and makes me appreciate and miss it since I don't live with my parents anymore. Beautiful video!

I visited the Tsukiji Market & was awestruck. Then I went to sea as an International Observer for 5 straight months aboard this ghastly Japanese squid drift netter where nobody spoke English. Of course nobody spoke English, not that anyone spoke to me anyway since they saw me as a spy for Greenpeace which I wasn’t. Hideous job surrounded by dead or dying critters including Dolphin mothers & calves. I would rather have spent the time in jail.
