Lemon Sole Geng

In China when you make a fish soup – often called fish geng – you will use, more often than not, a freshwater fish, such as a grass carp if you live in the Yangzi River delta, or a dace if you live in the south. But in Europe and America, it is more realistic to use a less bony white fish and prepare the soup in the Chinese manner. Lemon sole, reasonably priced and subtle in flavour, is the easy answer.
