Steamed whole fish in olive oil
Ingredients :
1 whole fish (I used maya-maya but you can use lapu-lapu or some other white fleshy fish), about 1 kilo in weight, scaled, gutted and cleaned
salt and pepper
3 tbsps. of finely chopped ginger
3 tbsps. of finely chopped garlic
3/4 c. of olive oil
2 tbsps. of finely chopped parsley
Cooking procedure :
On both sides, make a cut along the back of the fish about half an inch deep. Season the fish with salt and pepper, inside and out.
Mix together the ginger, garlic, olive oil, parsley and about a teaspoon of salt. The mixture will be rather thick.
Place a teaspoon of the olive oil mixture inside the cavity of the fish. Take another teaspoon and rub on one side of the fish. Lay the fish on a heat-proof dish, oiled side down. Rub the other side with the olive oil mixture. Pour the rest over the fish.
Steam the fish over simmering water for 30 minutes.
Serve at once. Wasn’t that simple and easy? Try it. It was really good.

Hi Connie,
Your steamed fish looks great! This dish is a regular in seafood restos here in China, but iba siyempre yung mommy ang mag-serve. Expecially with the help of pinoycook (as usual)! I have a question though…. ‘just went to the supermarket to buy my olive oil….. and I saw different kinds – extra virgin olive oil, pure olive oil, cooking olive oil, virgin olive oil, olive oil….. so may choices!! How do they differ?
If you mention “olive oil” in your recipe, which one of these are you referring to?
Olive, I use extra virgin olive oil when no cooking is required (like for salads, pesto, etc). For cooking, I use virgin olive oil.
thanks connie!
Connie, I’ve been looking for a simple fish recepi – ngayon natagpuan ko na. i’ll try it this weekend – just looking at it, nag lalaway na ako.
