How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh carp
- Choose fish with bulging, clear eyes; when lightly pressed on the body, it should feel elastic. The mouth of the fish should be tightly closed and have no strange smell.
- Fish should have bright red gills, not slimy, and have shiny scales tightly adhering from the body to the tail.
- Do not choose fish with dull eyes, sunken eye sockets, wrinkled corneas, scales that are not shiny and peeling off, and an open mouth, as these may be fish that are dead or spoiled.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- Choose tomatoes that are bright red, evenly colored, intact, and not bruised or scratched. They should have a light, characteristic tomato fragrance.
- It is advisable to take fruits that still have the stem attached, with a fresh stem firmly attached to the tomato.
- Avoid selecting bruised fruits or those without a fragrant smell, as they may be overripe.

Preparing the fish
For the snakehead fish, remove the guts and rub salt directly onto the fish’s body. Use a knife to scrape off the black layer attached to the bones inside to eliminate the fishy smell.
Then, rinse thoroughly with water several times, let it drain, and cut the fish into two pieces.
You should also rub the fish’s innards directly with salt several times, then rinse with clean water and let it drain.
How to clean snakehead fish without fishy smell
- Use salt or lemon to rub directly on the fish and rinse with water to help clean the fish and reduce the odor.
- A mixture of alcohol and ginger for soaking or washing the fish is also an effective way to eliminate the fishy smell.

Prepare other ingredients
Turmeric is washed, peeled and crushed. Lemongrass is washed, kept the root and cut into pieces about 1 finger length.
Tomatoes are washed and cut into wedges. Chili is washed and drained. Green onions are trimmed, cut into pieces about 2 finger lengths.
-
Marinate fish
Pour into a bowl sequentially 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of seasoning granules, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and mix evenly to combine the spices.
Take the spice mixture and turmeric to marinate evenly onto the fish for about 20 minutes, allowing the fish to absorb the flavor well.
Tip: To make the fish tastier and absorb more flavor, you should score the fish skin lightly before steaming. -
Steaming Fish
Put into the pot in order: the roots, fish guts, fish cut into pieces, green onions, and the remaining part divided into 2, one part stuffed into the fish’s belly, and one part sprinkled evenly around the fish, add tomatoes, chili, and 100ml of fresh beer.
Then, place the pot on the stove, turn on the medium heat, and steam for about 20 minutes until the fish is tender.
Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to enhance the flavor, cover the lid, and steam for another 5 minutes before taking it out. So it’s done.
Tip: To make the fish tastier, you can place the fish in a bowl and steam it using a steamer instead of in a pot. -
