About this item

Golden pomfret is a round, silver-skinned fish that keeps its shape on the plate, which makes it the one most people reach for when they want a whole fish that looks the way it did at the market. The body is plump, the flesh thick and white with very few fine bones, and the skin stays intact through steaming, braising or pan-frying. It is mild and slightly sweet, so it takes ginger, spring onion and a splash of soy without losing itself. Frozen whole right away, it keeps the bright skin and firm belly it had when it was packed. Score the side, steam it for ten minutes and finish with hot oil.
