Raw Fish Salad(鱼生）

Unfortunately, since 2015, it seems raw fish salad is no longer easily available in Singapore. Living in Australia gives me the alternative to make it myself. Normally, if I visit the fishery, I will buy sashimi grade white fish and make this dish.

In Singapore, I like the Amoy Street stall the most when it comes to 鱼生粥 with a plate of 鱼生. I’ve tried those at Tiong Bahru, Chinatown etc etc before.  But what I really like about the Amoy Street one is simply because they give me a lot of fish, and because I know the stallholder quite well, he gives me a lot of lettuce.

I am not sure what the hawker puts inside his sauce for the 鱼生 (or raw fish), but I know what I put into mine.  I will always use red snapper when I make mine, simply because it gives a nice firm texture. Many hawkers like to use 西刀鱼, but I honestly do not have the skills to remove all the bones, and I cannot get that fish outside Singapore.

You can find my Plain Savoury Porridge recipe to make the porridge that accompanies this salad.
