Mandarin fish, also called mandarin fish, is a kind of fresh water fish that eats meat and has a high breeding cost. In the past, it has always been an expensive fish. When I was a child, I lived in a small city. The fish market was dominated by carp, grass carp and crucian carp for a long time. I don't know when it will start. On New Year's day, the fish market began to show the figure of Siniperca chuatsi. But usually there are many people watching and few people buying. We should either think it's expensive or worry about not being good at cooking and spoiling such valuable ingredients. My uncles, who like to eat and cook, are very willing. I can occasionally see mandarin fish in my grandmother's holiday dinner party. Steamed mandarin fish is their usual practice. This steamed method is totally different from the Cantonese steamed fish I often make now. I haven't learned it yet. The steamed mandarin fish is tender and petal like. It tastes delicious and has few thorns. I didn't know how to be humble at that time. It's also a fish eater. Half of a fish usually goes into my stomach. In retrospect, I didn't know what to do at that time.
