Fresh water fish is a more economical option to deep water fish. They are widely available in wet markets. Beacause fresh water fish tends to have a muddy smell, most people dislike it. By braising it in oyster sauce, the smell is much reduced, and makes a very tasty , nutritous and economical family dish.
