blue crabs, live spot prawns and steamed fish- chinese style

so i got tired with all the cooking yesterday- and decided to have a seafood night. i hit up oakland chinatown and picked up a few goodies.

live spot prawns. the small ones are so much sweeter and the heads are divine!

blue crabs. 3 bucks a lbs. how can i complain? and with all that fatty goodness in the head. mmmm.

i steamed for of them for 8 min and they came out perrrrrfect.

steamed fish- chinese style. so apparently i need a bigger steamer. i had to fold this guy in half upside down and the metal plate on the bottom was too hot to touch- so presentation kinda lacks- urgh. my biggest pet peeve, but i gotta say, it was damn good. red rock cod, steamed, then topped with a special blend of sauce, then topped off with scallions, cilantro, and ginger. i heated grapeseed oil till piping hot and then poured it over the herbs- flash cookin them with the hot oil. sizzle sizzle. mm, mm, MM!
