Step 2 Pre-heat 5 tablespoons edible oil, quick-fry ginger slices, spring scallion sections and patted garlic. Then add silver carp head in and fry for a while and add 2 tablespoons rice wine. When the surface turns golden, take them out.

No.

Fish head to me looks disgusting. I am sure others like it though.

Dave, fish head looks disgusting but the soup is good. Last night, my friends and I had a dinner together and we ordered fish and beancurd soup. It tasted good. Do you know 剁椒鱼头(fish head with chopped chili)? It is a famous dish.

Not heard of it.

I had fish and veg soup in China which looked good and tasted good until it was stired and a big head popped up. That really put me off.

Hehe, Dave. Next time, you should ask the cook what ingredients he adds to make the soup.
