I bought the fish from my local Asian supermarket. I was glad that they cleaned the fish for me. All I had to do was rinse the fish and season it with salt. Then, I steamed the fish for 25 minutes. I microwaved the sauce and poured it over the steamed fish. The fish came out just perfect! It was tender and the sauce was the perfect compliment.
