How it's used
Considered a premium fish in Cantonese cuisine, often served at celebratory banquets or weddings. Its name comes from the distinctively pointed, mouse-like shape of its head. Because it is highly prized for its delicate texture, it is almost exclusively prepared by steaming to preserve the natural flavor.
