=== Seafood === [[Image:CantoneseRestaurantSeafood.jpg|thumb|right|Seafood tanks in a Cantonese restaurant]] Due to Guangdong's location along the [[South China Sea]] coast, fresh seafood is prominent in Cantonese cuisine, and many Cantonese restaurants keep aquariums or seafood tanks on the premises. In Cantonese cuisine, as in cuisines from other parts of [[Asia]], if seafood has a repugnant odour, strong spices and marinating juices are added; the freshest seafood is odourless and, in Cantonese culinary arts, is best cooked by steaming. For instance, in some recipes, only a small amount of [[soy sauce]], [[ginger]] and [[spring onion]] is added to steamed fish. In Cantonese cuisine, the light seasoning is used only to bring out the natural sweetness of the seafood. As a rule of thumb, the spiciness of a dish is usually negatively correlated to the freshness of the ingredients. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Image !! English !! Traditional Chinese !!
