Lastly, just gently press on the fish body. You would want to choose the fish with a firm body. I prefer to prepare the fish steamed simply because it brings out the freshness of the fish and healthier. White pompret, for example, is best eaten steamed. However, sometimes the fishy smell can put one off. To get rid of the fishy smell, just squeeze some lime juice and rub it all over the fish. Then, scour the fish with boiling water.
