As a Singaporean living in aus and paying $15 for a bowl of fish soup, I thought why not try this at home. and I have.. with real and mock fish..its delicious😋! And I save $$$

[@jant3528]

Thank you for posting this recipe. I just made it and it was amazing! Brings me back to my childhood. I really appreciate the straining step. This is crucial because it also works to keep any leftover fish scales out of the soup. I eat he fish separately with a soy sauce dip for this reason - so I can pick our any scales the supermarket didn't remove. Thanks again!

You’re most welcome. Glad that you enjoyed this.

[@Rebecca-dm5ul]

Oooooh chef love fish/shellfish dishes. Googled pickled mustard greens. Sigh not sold near me. Would you have a recipe for it? 😀 If not, found a few.... So, if I just toss in mustard greens say fresh, would I destroy the recipe? Could I just let greens sit in vinegar? Btw great intro, you're both amazing.

[@spicenpans]

Opps, so so sorry, Rebecca. We're really behind replying the comments left for us. The essence of this dish is really the pickled mustard greens so if you use fresh mustard greens, it's not the taste we're gunning for. Hope we're not too late in replying you.

[@irisho2744]

Hi Roland, can I check what is the purpose of adding egg white to the fish? What fish should I buy if I want to fry the fish? Thanks.

[@spicenpans]

Hi Iris, so sorry for our late reply. Egg white will help create a nice slippery texture on the fish which makes it taste better. You can use seabass like us or snakehead. In general, we prefer fish without too many small bones. This is more kid friendly. Hope this helps. Happy cooking!

[@butterbean818]

Is it kiam chye? Also will it make a lot of difference if I skip the wine?

[@spicenpans]

Hi Tequila&Tea, so sorry for our late reply. That's sourish mustard, not kiam chye -- kiam chye is only salty not sourish. Yes if you can get the sourish type, get that instead of kiam chye. It's more refreshing for this dish. You can skip the wine if you can't take it. If you can, wine is definitely recommended. Hope this helps.

[@mummyonglt]

Hi Roland may i know where to buy 酸菜 wet market or NTUC?

[@Bakeditmakeit]

I will try this can i make it without chilli?

[@james8708]

Hi Chef, instead of using vinegar can I change it to sour plum

[@spicenpans]

Hi James, yes you can but if you like it to be more sour, feel free to add more vinegar. So so sorry for our late reply.

[@alankoh8143]

Good ! Chef, your version is quite different from the 酸菜鱼 I eaten in China. In China, they like to use Grass Carp 草魚 ( more tiny bones) or Snakeheads Fish 生鱼. Hardly see anyone using sea bass. Without adding the chili oil and sze chuan peppercorn will be missing some authentic taste. I supposed your is the more healthy version. 👍

[@spicenpans]

Hi Alan, we chose sea bass because they are easier to eat compared to Grass Carp. Snakehead is also more expensive than seabass. Haha. Yes we were gunning for the healthier version which was why we didn't add chilli oil.

[@julietong1418]

Another great dish. I would have it as a one-dish meal with steaming hot rice. Since I love sucking bones, I would pick off all the remaining meat from the fish head and bones too

[@spicenpans]

Oma, you're just like my mom and Roland. They like to do that too :))

[@1chelp]

OK so my ang moh husband likes the snapper fish I used but I find it muddy tasting... suggestions for other types of fish for this soup.. clean tasting preferred

[@ruby-vh9yk]

Hi! thank you for the recipe. Can I know any substitute for the white wine?

[@spicenpans]

You’re most welcome. You can omit the white wine. We can’t think of a goo substitute for it. No worries, the dish will still be good. Happy cooking!

[@aben776]

Hi, is it ok to steam the fish for a few minutes to remove the fishy smell before using it to make the stock?
