The fish is placed in a steamer tray and covered with buttered paper to prevent moisture making the fish wet and soggy.
steamed fish Cooking fish by this method does not take long and timing is crucial.
Steaming fish in this way is used where large quantities of fish need to be cooked for say a banquet or large dinner.
Flavour and colour during the cooking process are retained but fish sauces have to be made separately to finish the fish dish.
