　　Hunan-style Boiled Fish mainly uses grass carp, common carp, and crucian carp raised in net cages, preferably those from river net cages. The most distinctive feature of Hunan-style fresh fish dishes is the minimal use of seasonings—just salt, ginger, perilla, and fresh green chili peppers—with tea seed oil as the primary cooking oil.
