Steamed Silver Pomfret (Qing Zheng Chang Yu / 清蒸鲳鱼)
Guangdong Province and Yangtze Delta — Cantonese and Shanghainese seafood tradition
Silver pomfret (chang yu) is one of the most prized fish in Chinese cuisine — sweet, fine-textured white flesh with a rich, fatty belly. The Cantonese and Shanghainese approach is identical: minimal seasoning, maximum freshness, clean steaming that reveals the natural quality of the fish. Silver pomfret from Chinese markets is often frozen but fresh live pomfret from good fishmongers is transformatively superior.
