Steamed Barramundi is a quick way to cook the fresh fish, without the need for oil, and it keeps food moist and flavoursome. While built-in steamers are becoming popular in domestic kitchens, all you need is an inexpensive bamboo steamer (available from Asian grocery stores) that fits snugly over a wok or large saucepan. You can order seafood online today from Manettas Seafood Market and get fresh seafood delivered to your door!
