Freshwater Crucian Carp

A much-loved freshwater fish with sweet, tender white flesh and a fine bone structure. Ours are raised in clean ecological ponds with no hormones or antibiotics, and harvested at the size where the meat is at its silkiest.

Why It Stands Out

• Farm-raised in clean ecological water, no hormones or antibiotics
• Naturally sweet flesh with fine bones that are easy to work around
• Harvested at optimal size for generous portions and tender meat
• A good source of protein, omega-3, calcium and minerals

How To Cook

• Pan-fried whole - score lightly, dust with cornstarch and fry until golden and crisp, then serve with a soy and vinegar dip
• Clear soup - simmer whole with ginger, goji berries and white radish for 30 to 40 minutes until the broth turns milky
• Steamed whole - top with shredded ginger and scallion, steam for 12 to 15 minutes, then finish with soy sauce and hot oil
• Braised in soy - fry briefly, then braise with dark soy, sugar, star anise and cooking wine until the sauce glazes
