Once in a while, I get a craving for the steamed cream dory. Cream Dory fish fillet is a popular choice among seafood lovers due to its delicate and mild flavor, as well as its flaky texture. When I was young, my father used to take me to Chinese restaurants and among other Chinese dishes, I got to taste this kind of fish. It was unlike other fish I have tasted then and I remember thinking that it was clean tasting and not as fishy. Back then, cream dory was not as available in markets and groceries as it is now.

Nowadays, when I’m on the red days, this fish is a lifesaver because it’s even cheaper than fresh fish in the market. It’s been getting a lot of bad press lately because some people claim that cream dory may not be safe to eat. This is because cream dory is often farm-raised in crowded conditions, which can lead to the spread of diseases and parasites. Additionally, farm-raised cream dory may be fed a diet that is not natural for the fish, which can affect the quality and nutritional value of the fish. Which is a lot of hogwash in my opinion. All food has possibilities of being contaminated with anything and cream dory is about as healthy as any produced and processed food. What I’m saying is that the risk would be about the same as say, chicken.

Another point of view is, Cream Dory is a predatory fish, which means that it eats other fish. And as a result, it can contain high levels of mercury and other contaminants. This is especially true for larger cream dory, which have had more time to accumulate these toxins in their bodies.

So, it’s important to consider the source and farming method of the cream dory fish before consuming it. It’s always best to opt for wild-caught cream dory, and if that is not an option, to look for a reputable source of farm-raised fish that is raised in a sustainable and healthy manner.

Ps, if you’re looking for a good steamer, I am partial to the electric ones for steaming fish. I have the other steamer for puto but it’s sometimes too clunky to take out. This Hanabishi Electric Steamer is a really good product. I had the Kyowa Electric Steamer version which is slightly bigger since forever but that has sadly died because of a flood. Both are great and is really handy for steaming Siomai and Siopao.
