steamed fish

Uwajimaya is a Japanese chain grocery store in the northwest. The original one is in Seattle, I think. There's one not far from my work. We picked up a red tilapia from the seafood section, all gutted and scaled.

One of the best way to cook a whole fish is steaming. We stuffed it with garlic, ginger and fresh cilantro, and generously salted it. It took about 15min on full steam to cook this pound and half fish. The flesh was tender and flavorful. The best part was the head of course. =)

You can call it fresh fish at its simplest.
