Three Tastes Steamed Fish



Are you curious by the name of this dish?  It's literally translated from Cantonese 'Sam Mei Yu', with the incorporation of three tastes which are sourish, sweetish and spicy, all these three words beginning with the letter 'S'!  What a coincidence.  I had this dish not too long ago in one of the restaurants and I'm trying to replicate it here.
