Steps:
- Set up your steamer over high heat.
- Score the fish, gently making three to four cuts along the body of the fish on both sides, starting from the dorsal fin to the belly. The cuts should be deep enough that you can stuff them with some ginger and onions. Sprinkle the salt in the slits on both sides to help flavor the fish. Gently place half of the onions and ¼ cup of the ginger into the slits.
- In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine the soy sauce, wine, oil, and the remaining onions and ¼ cup ginger. Heat to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Keep the sauce over low heat while the fish steams.
- Place the fish in a steam-proof dish, such as a pie plate, that fits in your steamer. The dish should be deep enough to let the sauce pool at the bottom. Steam the fish for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the fish. To check for doneness, turn off the heat. Carefully lift the lid of the steamer. Using the tip of a sharp knife, gently probe the flesh at the meatiest part of the fish. If it is opaque and flakes, then the fish is done steaming. If it looks underdone, then close the lid and steam over high heat for up to 5 minutes more.
- Remove the dish from the steamer and drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the fish. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with rice as a part of a meal.

Steps:
- 1. Rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the fish inside and out with salt and pepper. Place the fish on a heatproof plate that is both large enough to accommodate it (a glass pie plate works well) and will also fit inside your steamer, bending the fish slightly if it is too long. Stuff half of the ginger inside the cavity of the fish and spread the remaining ginger on top of the fish.
- 2. Pour water into a wok or stockpot and set a steamer in the wok or on the rim of the stockpot. Make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- 3. Place the plate holding the fish in the steamer, cover, and steam for about 8 minutes, until the fish flakes easily when tested with the tip of a knife.
- 4. While the fish is steaming, in a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, wine, and 1 tablespoon of water. Set aside.
- 5. When the fish is ready, carefully remove the plate from the steamer and pour off any accumulated liquid. Lay the scallion and cilantro along the top of the fish. In a small sauté pan, heat the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking. Remove the oil from the heat and pour it directly over the scallion and cilantro to "cook" them. Drizzle the soy mixture over the fish and serve immediately.

Steps:
- 1. Rinse the fish inside and out with 1/4 cup of wine.
- 2. Select a round or oval platter that's large enough to hold the fish but will fit inside the top of a steaming utensil. This could be a traditional Chinese bamboo or metal steamer, or a Western-style clam steamer.
- 3. Place the fish on the platter and set platter in the top of the steamer. Cover and steam over boiling water 10 to 15 minutes.
- 4. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce base by combining the 2 tablespoons of wine, garlic, scallions, ginger, and sugar in a small bowl.
- 5. Check fish for doneness. When cooked, the flesh will be white and pull easily from the bones. Remove the platter and pour off the liquid that has accumulated around the fish.
- 6. Heat the oil in a wok or saucepan, and when it is hot, add the sauce base. Cook, stirring until the sauce boils.
- 7. Pour soy sauce over the sea bass first, and then pour the boiled sauce over the fish. Serve immediately.
STEAMED STRIPED BASS
The fish and shitake mushrooms are steamed in the bottom basket, where the haet is stronger. Edamame (green soy beans), which just need to be heated through, can go in the top tier. This recipe can be doubled easily. Use a larger steamer, about ten inches in diameter, to cook all four portions at once in the same basket.

Steps:
- Stir ginger, orange zest and juice, coriander, oil, soy sauce, wine, and scallions in a medium bowl. Season with pepper. Add fish and mushrooms; turn to coat completely. Marinate 10 minutes.
- Fill 2 woks or large pots with about 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil. Brush bottom baskets of two 6-inch, 2-tiered round bamboo steamers with oil. Place 1 fillet and 3 mushrooms in a single layer in each bottom basket; place half the edamame in each top. Cover baskets; carefully set into boiling water. Steam until fish is just cooked through, 10 to 14 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure water doesn't completely evaporate. Sprinkle edamame with salt. Serve in baskets.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest striped bass possible. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has clear, bright eyes.
- Prepare the steamer basket in advance. Line the basket with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent the fish from sticking. If you don't have a steamer basket, you can use a colander placed over a pot of boiling water.
- Season the fish simply with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Steam the fish until it is cooked through. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish. A good rule of thumb is to cook the fish for 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
- Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sauce or dressing. Some popular options include soy sauce, ginger-scallion sauce, or lemon-butter sauce.
Conclusion:
Steamed striped bass is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this popular fish. The simple cooking method allows the delicate flavor of the fish to shine through, while the ginger and scallions add a bright, refreshing touch. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it can be easily customized to your own taste.
