Herbs to Rid Muddy Taste of Pond Fish
Brian recommend the "Thai Style Steamed Fish with Fresh Lime". A variety of herbs are used : Galangal ginger has a minty taste. With Chinese coriander, they eliminate the muddy taste of Grey Mullet. Lemongrass can be used in cooking fish and meat. Kaffir lime and lime can bring out the sweetness of the fish. Red chili's hot and strong flavour makes it a good ingredient for sauce.
