I have collected a couple of easy fish soup recipes here.
Fish is one of the healthiest foods in the modern diet. It is high in protein and important vitamins, AND it is low in fat.
Making chinese soups with fish is great but the fish must be very fresh. It is advisable if you are new to use saltwater fish. They tend to have firmer flesh and carry the fresh taste of the sea.
If using freshwater fish, they must be either seasoned with ginger juice or parboiled with ginger. They must be prepared properly because they tend to have a muddy taste as well as a lot of small bones.
In recent years, concerns about pollution in rivers and lakes have also cast a rather bad light on freshwater fish. Some freshwater fishes have also been marketed as if they are ocean catch by giving them names closely associated with saltwater fish.
Whether saltwater or freshwater, when buying fish, look for the following:
- White fish fillets should have a pearly appearance and the flesh should be firm and moist
- Whole fish should have bright eyes, red sticky gills and the skin should have a glossy sheen
