Fish has alway been a big part of Chinese cuisine. Most of the fish dishes serves well with fried rice. The National Geographic Society found that there are high concentrations of un-saturated fatty acids in the large amount of fish. This sauce fish recipe - braised fish with black bean sauce is one of my favourite recipes with fish.
