When it comes to fish soups, this recipe trumps them all. 
There are so many flavours in a single spoonful – the richness of the deep fried fish bones, the savouriness of dried sole fish and layered with fresh sweetness from ginger. And to top it all off, perfectly marinated tender fish slices.
Now, all you need is a fragrant bowl of rice.
