Discover the uniquely delicate charm of our Noodle Fish – 8-10 Count (225g) — a beloved seasonal delicacy across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisines, named for their slender, translucent, noodle-like appearance. Also known as Ice Fish or White Bait, these tiny, tender fish are prized for their exceptionally mild, sweet flavour, soft texture, and the fact that they are eaten whole — bones and all — making them a uniquely satisfying and nutritious treat. Flash-frozen at peak freshness to preserve their delicate flavour and pristine quality.
Pan-frying / Egg omelette (recommended): Thaw, mix with beaten eggs, scallions, and a pinch of salt, and pan-fry in oil over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and set — the classic Chinese noodle fish omelette (銀魚荷包蛋) that is a timeless home cooking favourite.
Deep-frying: Thaw, pat dry, lightly coat in seasoned flour or cornstarch, and deep-fry at 180°C for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy — a delightful, crunchy snack or appetizer.
Steaming: Steam over boiling water for 5–7 minutes and serve with a light soy and ginger dressing for a clean, delicate preparation.
Soup / Congee: Add directly to a simmering broth or congee and cook for 3–4 minutes for a nourishing, flavourful bowl.
Noodle fish are a versatile and charming ingredient — fold into a fluffy egg omelette with scallions and serve with steamed rice for a classic, comforting Chinese home-cooked meal. Deep-fry until golden and crispy and serve as a light snack or appetizer with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of sea salt. In Japanese cuisine, they are enjoyed as shirauo — lightly battered and deep-fried as tempura or served raw as a seasonal delicacy. Add to a clear soup or congee for a nourishing, protein-rich bowl that is as comforting as it is delicious.
Keep frozen at -18°C or below. Once thawed, refrigerate and consume within 24 hours. Do not refreeze.
