By the way, I was assigned to work in Afghanistan for a year and was deprived of seeing your blog's photos. I can access your blog but without the pictures it is not just the same. Now that I'm back in the Philippines I can indulge in your excellent food photography again.<br />On a sad note, Marketman just posted his last blog entry and there goes my wish of another Cebu eyeball in the near future.Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-21796904413649417442010-09-05T09:36:03.594+08:002010-09-05T09:36:03.594+08:00I've never steamed a fish before, but you make...I've never steamed a fish before, but you make it look so tasty and easy!redmenacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334441121491984365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-74734221907791773202010-09-02T23:10:03.048+08:002010-09-02T23:10:03.048+08:00hi joey.

I love how steamed fish is so forgiving (in that as long as there's enough aromatics to give it some flavor, and "liquids" (oil, wine etc.) to keep it moist, you're good to go.

I can understand :) I grew up with whole fish all around (we are an archipelago so lots of seafood!) so I'm quite used to seeing the heads (which is in fact where all the best meat hides!) :) But, I certainly wouldn't want you to pass on this so go ahead and use fillets first...and work your way up to whole fish a little at a time (only if you can get them fresh though!) :)ChichaJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143881216169572999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-52082775277682708232010-09-01T10:05:05.173+08:002010-09-01T10:05:05.173+08:00I have never been a fan of whole fish, I will not ...I have never been a fan of whole fish, I will not lie when I say the head freaks me out a bit.
