  1. Hi, I just love the fish head with apple herbal soup that I have at Chinese Restaurant. I'm wondering if this is the recipe? I just have to change chicken with fish head?

  2. I never tried it before with fish head, you inspire me to try fish head with apple herbal soup next time. I will try to pan fry the fish head until golden brown and add in a few sliced ginger to this recipe to get rid of the fish odour.
