What the creator captured
Mark Wiens visited the Ap Lei Chau fish market to experience the 'catch and cook' style of dining, where he purchased live seafood and had it prepared immediately upstairs. He was particularly impressed by the steamed garupa, noting its incredibly delicate, buttery texture and lack of any fishiness. He concluded that when seafood is this fresh, simple steaming with garlic and soy sauce is the best way to highlight its natural sweetness.
