One of the four king fish in Singapore, it is popular among all ages and even more so during the Chinese New Year celebrations due to its auspicious red colour and due to how excellent it is for steaming due to its firm and bouncy meat.
For a more affordable option, Flower Grouper would be our top recommendation for steaming.
For filleting, large red groupers would be more suitable.
