Didn't think the dao jiao crust went well with the cod actually, with its slight bitterness and funkiness since cod is fairly delicate. The vermicelli was also quite weird even tho it was sour to go with the fish. I almost didn't want to finish the vermicelli lol. But the cod was so perfectly cooked the flesh was bouncy and flaky, it would be a winner on its own. Rather unfortunate that the beautifully cooked cod is surrounded by other elements
