I bought a large, Chinese-style steamer at a great price at one of the Asian supermarkets, and it can fit a whole fish. Or you can create a makeshift steamer by placing a low rack or trivet in the center of a 12-inch skillet. Pour hot water into the skillet to just under the rack, and bring it to a boil. Place fish on an oiled, heat-resistant dish over the rack. Cover the skillet and steam for about five minutes and your fish will be ready to serve.
