so anyway, some might wonder what are fish lips... basically, they are tasteless, crunchy & found only in chinese restaurants. My former boss once told my mum that fish lips are fish lips... and mummy believed him!
I googled fishlips & i got this
"For once and all, lets set the record straight. The word 'fish mouth' or 'fish lip' (in Chinese character '魚唇') as seen in a Chinese restaurant’s menu, be it sautéed or braised, means not the mouth or lip of fish you come to think they're. Don't take the titles in a Chinese eatery for granted. The name fish mouth/lip is coined to refer to quite the opposite, in a euphemistic way - the skin of big fish, especially to skin around the tail fin of shark - usually considered not classy enough to be used in the shark fin soup.
But you're not alone if you mistake the fish skin by its title: many a people in Hong Kong who can read Chinese characters in the perfect tend to think likewise and inquire the waiter out of surprise (and sheer ignorance) where the "fish mouths" are when the dish arrives."

anyway, these are what fish lips basically look like... although the ones they serve in Long Feng are less translucent & more to the whiter side...
