"Thank God, I don't really like fried fish, I prefer fish cooked in soup or just using lemongrass, but it's good. The important thing is that the fish is still fresh... I'm grateful to live in an area near the sea," said the account @desicendrana
"It's no wonder my friend always brings fish in yellow sauce, never fried," said the account @supraITO
"It's best to steam the fish with ginger, bay leaves, lime leaves, etc. so it's not fishy. If I steam the fish using red/yellow spices, it's really delicious, even children like it," concluded the @Innocent Child account.
