Fish Lip Soup
A dish quite often enjoyed at street markets in China is Fish Lip Soup. But contrary to the name, it does not involve cooking the lips of fish… Or at least not only the lips of fish. In most cases, it involves the cooking of the entire fish head, though some recipes call for the use of Garoupa fish lips.
Usually, the fish head is chopped into pieces and brown fried in oil, then added to boiling water and served with tofu as a soup.
