Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the meat is white and soft.

Carefully remove the fish from the soup. Let it cool slightly, then remove the head, tail, skin, and bones. Strain the soup broth back into the pot.

Add the cooked rice to the strained broth. Bring to a boil and cook until the rice is tender.

Return the flaked fish meat to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a squeeze of lemon juice.
