I love Chinese-style steamed fish-fresh-from-the-tank live fish steamed with soy sauce and topped with shredded ginger, scallions, and cilantro leaves. To me, nothing tastes as satisfying as steamed fish with white rice, drizzled with the soy sauce from the steamed fish. Firstly, we treat fresh water fish and sea fish differently. Though we are using a Cantonese way of making steamed fish, please note that in Cantonese cuisine, where sea fish is mostly used for steamed fish, marinating is not needed.
