Wild sea fish 馬友 in Hong Kong


Wild sea fish 馬友

 Apparently in season, saw a good number of this fish in a stall in the wet market in Sai Kung, specialises in wild caught fish. According to the owner, only the wild version of this fish could be over 1kg, with a whitish lower fin. Majority sold in the market are farmed, maximum 1kg, and with yellow lower fin.

I bought the smallest available, 2kg, plenty for 2 persons, so I cut it up into thick pieces, lightly salted them, then freeze some for eating later.

The first portion is steamed for 8 minutes, with a few goji berries for colour. Very delicate fine flesh with a good gelatinous feel.
