Teochew-Style steamed Loup de Mer

Today we steamed Loup de Mer Teochew-Style. I have ordered the fish (in a whole) from a gorgeous online-shop: http://www.lachskontor.de They deliver absolutely fresh fish. From the catch to delivery at home it takes only 24 hours. They have special packaging in order to maintain the freshness and chilling chain. I am so happy to have a source of fresh fish. The price of the fish is absolutely reasonable. The fish is vacuumized in portions and is easy to freeze. So we have fresh fish all the time.
The fish was steamed together with ginger julienne, garlic slices, soy sauce, shao xing rice wine, lime juice and sesame oil.
The fish flesh was very firm and tasty. Delicious.

Prawns with Salsa

Back from Istanbul. I have had some really nice seafood and other food in Istanbul. Today I prepared some prawns with salsa. The salsa consists of tomatos, onions, coriander, lime juice, soy sauce, salt and pepper. A very refreshing food. The prawns were simply pan fried in olive oil with thyme and garlic slices. The recipe is from Steffen Henssler in "Der Feinschmecker" (Fisch und Meeresfruechte).

Mussels and Sea Bass

Yesterday we went to France for grocery shopping again. Bought a very fresh sea bass (a whole fish) and fresh french mussels. The mussels and the fish, together with several vegetables (sellery, fennel, onion, carots), were steam with fish fond and white wine. As a starter we had some pan fried scallops.
