1) In yesterday's Zoom session, I tested making fish paste with a batch of Ling fillets - as you can see from the photo of a dollop of the fish paste fried in oil - it was a bust - it's too flaky and lacks any starchiness to produce proper fish paste for yong tau foo/fish balls etc.
2) I've also attached a copy of the fish paste notes by from when he did a masterclass on the topic over 20 years ago in Melbourne's Victoria Market, run by a chef from China. I tried to clarify some points but Swee says he can't remember because it was so long ago, but take a look and see if you can figure it out 😁
