20120228 Fish & Clam Soup

Fish & Clam Soup

A recipe from my fishmonger after a conversation like this:

Fishmonger: " This live fish would be perfect for soup.  Just add some clams to it."

              Me:     " NT$90 for a fish and NT$50 for the clams. Don't you think it is too

                                              much a price for soup?" 

                   Fishmonger:    " How do you intend to cook this fish?"

      

                                Me:   " Steam it."

                   Fishmonger:   "  You can cook soup with the fish head and part of the tail with half a portion of the clams."

                                Me:   " That's a good idea!  I love you for it."
