Pat the fish dry and make 2–3 diagonal cuts on each side down to the bone. Lay the halved scallions and ginger slices on a heatproof plate as a rack, put the fish on top and splash with the Shaoxing wine.
Steam
Steam over rapidly boiling water for 8–10 minutes, until the flesh at the thickest part is opaque and flakes easily. Don't overcook — it should be just done.

The Story Behind the Dish
Cantonese cooking prizes freshness above all, and steaming is the purest way to show off a perfect fish. In Guangdong and Hong Kong, restaurants keep live fish in tanks so they can be steamed minutes after being chosen.
The finishing splash of hot oil over ginger and scallion is a signature Cantonese technique.
⭐ Why It's Famous
It lets the natural sweetness of the fish shine, lifted by the fragrance of ginger and scallion.
💡 Fun Fact
A whole fish is served at Lunar New Year because the word for fish (yu) sounds like 'surplus' — and it's lucky to leave a little uneaten so the surplus carries into the new year.
