Having fish every year is an indispensable dish for New Year’s Eve dinner. Among all the ordinary fish at home, I personally think seabass is the most delicious. The fish is fresh and not fishy, ??and it is cost-effective The price is also high, and the price may increase slightly during the Chinese New Year. This is a dish suitable for all ages. Although Hunan people love spicy food, this steamed fish is also an indispensable dish at the banquet.
