1. Steamed fish usually takes 15 minutes to be cooked. However, the size of the fish is different, and the steaming time is also different. Most of the fish you buy are about one or two pounds. Such fish are usually steamed over high heat for 8-10 minutes. But the steaming time of different fish is also different. For grass carp with older meat, steam it for a while longer, while for carp with more delicate meat, 8 minutes is enough.

Fish suitable for steaming have less fishy smell and tender meat with fewer spines, such as croaker, mandarin fish, sea bass, Wuchang carp, grass carp, white fish, etc. are all suitable for steaming. Yellow croaker: Yellow croaker, also known as yellow croaker, is the general name for a genus of yellow croaker in the family Totoidae.
