Steamed Coral Trout in Soy Sauce

3.5

at Fong Lee

–Suva–

with SK, CY and his family

Mission to Fiji, Day 5.

• Day 1 (10.110 Grilled Tenderloin…)
• Day 2 (10.111 Swordfish)
• Day 3 (10.112 Snapper Carpaccio)
• Day 4 (10.113 Dragon Wrap)

In Suva.  Here to conduct a series of planning meetings and ocular inspections – Friday and Saturday in Nadi, Monday and Tuesday in Suva, Thursday in Nadi again – in preparation for the Fifth Meeting of the Asia-Pacific Parliamentarian Forum on Global Health, which will be held in Fiji in August 2019.  This is the third such mission in advance of the Fifth Meeting (see previously 10.049 Termite Mushroom Steamed Halibut).

The fish was excellent.  Coral Trout = grouper or lapu-lapu.  The flesh was both firm and delicate.  The soy-ginger sauce was a tad bland.  Otherwise, a fine rendition of the classic Cantonese dish.
