I know a few of the regulars have some connections with the Chinese restaurant trade and I suspect there are a fair few knowledgable people here who might be able to answer this question that has been bugging me for the last few weeks.
What is the commonly used fish in chinese restaurants? Typically get a very decent fish at my local takeaway near work served up with sweet&sour / black bean sauce. $40 dish with a very decent amount of fish in it. I cannot seem to find anything of similar quality and I assume in the $20 / lb price range in the super markets or at the meat vendors we normally use.
The closest we can find is some random frozen fish from the wholesale market in Western. Cannot figure out the name as someone else buys that for us.
Is there something specific I need to be asking or looking for?
