Steamed saury with black bean sauce

Overview

Saury: It is taken from the local name of this fish species in the Kii Peninsula of Japan; the Chinese and Japanese characters are both saury, which may be due to its long and slender body like a knife and its production season in autumn. Saury is a high-protein, high-fat seawater fish. It also contains unsaturated fatty acids such as EPA and DHA that are indispensable to the human body, and can inhibit high blood pressure, myocardial infarction, and arteriosclerosis. DHA, also known as brain gold, is an essential nutrient for the development of the human brain and central nervous system, and is beneficial to the brain development of infants and young children. Regular consumption of saury by the elderly can achieve good disease prevention and nourishing effects on the body. Because it is rich in protein, fat, etc., it tastes very tender and delicious no matter whether it is steamed, boiled, fried or roasted. This time I chose the saury from Bawang Supermarket. It is large, well-proportioned and fresh and is suitable for steaming. Simply marinate it with salt, onion, ginger, and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, and then steam it in a pot: it can highlight the original flavor of the saury, while the black bean chili sauce increases the tenderness and deliciousness of the fish. In addition, after marinating, I made one of the saury into pan-fried saury. Compared with the tender and delicious steamed saury, the fried meat has a burnt aroma and is firmer and chewier.
