Broiled fish can be really delicious, especially if you season the fish well before cooking. Be sure to preheat the broiler before adding the fish.

Another technique to basting the fish with oil is to wrap it in aluminum foil. The aluminum foil will keep in the moisture and marinate the fish in its own juices. Adding herbs and spices inside the foil along with the fish enhances the cooking process and the flavor of the fish.

Remember these easy tips with buying and cooking fish:

* When Grilling Fish, it should be grilled with high, indirect heat.
* It is better to undercook the fish a bit than overcooking it.
* Marinades are a good way to add flavor and moisture to the fish before cooking.

* When baking fish, you want to use high heat, typically between 400 and 450 degrees.
* For the best possible pan-frying results, take extra care to ensure that the butter or oil is hot and that the fish is well coated with batter.
