Great - We really like this one
This is a recipe for cooking white fleshed fish. We often serve the fish with Vietnamese spring roll wrappers, fresh mint, coriander and basil. The trick is to soak the wrappers in warm water until they soften, then steam them so you have a sort of oriental fish taco.
We sort of invented this dish in honor of the deep fried rockfish at Flying Fish.
