The miracle of fish paste

Fish is eaten throughout the world wherever there is water. Fishing was one of the first skills mastered by our ancestor hunter-foragers, so the cooking of fish is an ancient art.

I have eaten fish in many places, from east to west, and I like the Chinese attitude toward fish best. It is disarmingly honest.

In Western countries, fish tends to be neatly filleted and deboned, so much so that the anonymous fillet can no longer be identified and you have to depend on the label to know what you are buying.
