Steamed horsehead fish with black bean sauce
Horsehead fish, also known as Japanese Jiagi, square head fish, and red horse head fish. Because the head is square, the fish's sides are flat, the back is slightly convex, the head is large and high, the mouth is small, and the lateral lines are developed, which is somewhat like a horse's head, so we call it a horse's head fish here. Horsehead fish live in the deep sea, so what they buy is basically refrigerated fish. The meat of this fish is tender and delicious, but it has a strong fishy smell. If steamed, it may not be so good. If braised, the meat will easily rot. It is best to barbecue it or steam it in black bean sauce, so that you can taste its delicate texture.
