Soy sauce base with fried garlic bits, ginger slices and coriander to enhance the flavours. It is thoroughly cleaned without fishiness. The fish I tried this time round as recommended by the stall owner did not turn out as tender. The texture was firm, with slightly rubbery skin and many more bones. Prawns are steamed fresh with the same base to bring out its natural flavour and sweetness.

They have some non-fish dishes to complete your meal. Same garlicky flavour haha.
Variety of cheap steamed fish. This had too many bones for me, but I appreciate they sliced the fish open. Nice garlicky flavour.
While some places half their seabass head and tail, the ones here were halved sideways along the backbone where you get both the head to tail on one side.
The sea bass was moist and delicate, with soft textured flesh. The sea bass retains the best natural taste of the fish, seasoned with soy sauce dressing and minced garlic. It taste simple and incredible.
Prawns were seasoned and steamed Hong Kong style with light soy sauce and minced garlic. The prawns were fresh and sweet, accompanied with garlic fragrance and sauce that pairs well with rice.

This stall is managed by 2 young fishmongers during the day and hawkers at the night. This was also a plus point where they can get seafood at wholesale prices and consumers get to have seafood priced affordably and competitively.
The seafood served here is all steamed Hong Kong-style with light soy sauce dressing, Shaoxing wine and minced garlic. I love Cantonese-style steamed seafood which uses very few ingredients to showcase the freshness and bring out the great flavour in a dish.
There are dishes such as grouper, red grouper, red snapper, white snapper, Chinese pomfret, golden pomfret, Spanish mackerel batang, seabass, white snapper head, tiger prawn, crayfish and lala on the menu during my visit but not everything is sold daily and subject to availability.
Here I got myself the twin grouper and lala served on metal plates. They also had the option of having a single fish in a larger size for the same price. The fishes were of decent size, fresh, tender and moist while the lala was chewy and not sandy. The garlicky soy sauce also makes me want to get more rice to go along with it.
Be prepared to wait during peak hours and I would advise going earlier for more choices of seafood that starts getting sold out as early as 7pm.
