During our visit to the jetty in Sekinchan, we were lucky that a fishing boat has just arrived awhile ago with its bountiful catch from the sea. Seen here is the lady boss with baskets of pomfret. Each of this pomfret cost RM30 only. In a restaurant, I may probably be charged double or more for a steam pomfret of this size.
I bought one and steamed it the Teochew way (with Chinese dried mushroom, salted vegetable, tomatoes, pickled sour plum, soya sauce and sprinkled with some fried minced garlic). It tasted so fresh, tender and delicious. There's no fishy smell at all!

Well, you almost make it sound good. It does sound good! And I'd guess you can't get fish fresher than that!
I know it was good if there was no fishy smell at all : )
Oh I love these promfret but they are so expensive. I like them steamed teochew style. :) I am teochew but more to the cantonese cause mom and my hubby are cantonese.
Urrgghh! Horrible, horrible!!
I am allergic to fish! LOL!
Do they sell pomfret not by per kilo any more? I think when I was young, it costed about RM15-RM20 per kilo. That was too long ago. Over here, they sell it A$12.99/kg.
I like the black ones better.
Good photo by the way.
Looks like 'ikan bawal' in Malay, or 'ikan duai' in my place. I like this fish but kinda expensive but worth eating :)
That fish tastes good, my dad loves that fried or in sour tamarind soup.
