Fresh Whole Yellow Croaker Fish

Fresh Whole Yellow Croaker Fish

Whole yellow croaker with a silver body and a golden cast along the belly and fins. The fish are medium sized, one or two to a pan, and the flesh is firm enough to hold its shape when steamed.

Score the skin, lay ginger and scallion in the cavity, and steam for eight to ten minutes. Alternatively dry the skin well and pan-fry in a little oil until crisp, then finish with soy and hot oil.

• Whole, medium-sized croaker with silver-gold scales
• Firm, sweet flesh that lifts cleanly off the bone
• Gutted and scaled, ready to cook
• Steam with ginger, or pan-fry until the skin crisps
