Dive into this zingy restaurant staple with a fork AND a spoon because you won’t want to miss a single drop of flavor. Preparation is pretty simple considering the mouth-popping flavors it produces. The dish is prepared by merging a steamed Asian sea bass, or barramundi, into a lemony broth fused with garlic, chilies, cilantro, green onion and fish sauce. The fish is generally served inside an oblong metal platter, bathed in the broth, which is kept bubbling hot by a small, tabletop fire. Take your time devouring each bite because the more the fish simmers, the richer the flavors become!
