Question How to take hold of the bones at the head end? How will fillets fall back into place?
I don't understand how to proceed from Step 2 to 3. 1. In Step 2, the bones are under the fish flesh. Then in step 3, how do I "Take hold of the bones at the head end"? 2. In Step 3, how will the fillets "fall back into place"? I can't picture this. ![enter image description here][1] ...

Question Why put butter onto a sheet of parchment paper and roll into a small cylinder?

Question Why transfer salmon, seared in a pan, to the oven?

Question What's this dish from a Hong Kong restaurant, with sea cucumber in a fried nest?
Can you please ID this dish? It's from Shang Palace, H.K.. Google translated "海參的協奏曲", captioned on that Openrice page, to Sea Cucumber concerto. I'm guessing the fried nest was made with potato, taro, or flour? But it's not the main point.

Question Why would Hong Kong restaurants cook scallops in a clay pot, 煲仔?
I chanced on this clay pot (煲仔) on Tripadvisor for a Cantonese restaurant in Hong Kong. 1. I see cellophane or glass noodles, and spring onions. Or are those scallions? 2. How are the scallops cooked? Would the restaurant just put all the raw ingredients in the clay pot, then put the clay po...
