    We get these already cooked at the local night markets. They are so good. 100 baht for a large one and 80 baht for a smaller one. Love the smell of the fresh ginger.

    I bought your cookbook and thumbed through it briefly. I am excited to try some basics like Broccoli with beef, Orange chicken, Egg drop soup, General Tsau's Chicken. Skewers and so forth. I am hoping these come together as easily as YOU make it seem. 🙏 As soon as I get the book spiral bound, I will dig into it. Do you do a segment on basic sauces to buy? Oyster sauce and soy, for sure. Thank you for your inspiration and hard work.

    Is there a reason why the dish is not suppose to touch the water underneath when we steam the fish? Both my parents use to scrape off scales and clean out the insides too. My dad was the last to pass away last year and this brings back so many memories. I bought your Homestyle Cookbook which reminds me of both of them and all the dishes they use to cook for me. I always had problems knowing measurements of sauce ingredients so I don't cook these dishes. Now I can cook them too. Thank you for your easy directions.

    This is a dish that we were introduced to when we lived in Penang. How we miss it!… must try to make it at home here in Maine… we do have some wonderful fish! We were informed that you NEVER flip the fish over! "Capsizing the boat" One must artfully peel the bones up and continue to the bottom filet. Have your heard of this? Anyway, loved Malaysia! Dude… love your TASTE experience!… takes me there!

    I remember being here a long time ago, all the instant pot stuff. Looked back today and wow almost 300k subscribers! Well done Flo and Dude! You deserve your success and still as authentic and real as you were – I did like that slo mo shot on the juice being poured on the fish tho I must admit, these must be some new video skills you've picked up along the way 🙂

    This video brought back many memories of my Dad enjoying fish that he had caught…he was like a surgeon the way he would delicately separate the flesh from the bones and delight in the process. Thanks for sharing and making me smile!! Sharon🤗

    Steamed fish eyes are always offered to the guest in Thailand. They especially like that offer to foreigners who must politely refuse, because they aren't used to the 'delicacy' 🙂 Thais, as I expect the Chinese, are always 'politely' amused.
    For the polite foreigners who do brave the unknown 'eyeballs'…don't swallow the eye's lens, or bite it 🙂

    This recipe flashed back to fond childhood memories when my late father used to steam sea bass in the wok. I love this dish. Now I have to go to Costco to get the fish for dinner! As always, thank you Flo for your wonderful recipes. Have a great weekend!
