I tried to use fish fillet in this Fish in Ginger Soup Recipe because I want to enjoy the fish quickly without worrying about removing the fish bones. You can always use whole fish in making this dish as long as you have it gutted and cleaned. The truth is, it provides more flavor to the soup compared to using fish fillet.
