Buying and Cooking your own fish at home can be fun and rewarding. Here are some easy and quick tips for you to keep in mind as you get going...

* When cooking fish that has not been boned, such as trout or pan fish, the meat should not drop off the bones, but instead should slightly resist removal.
* It is best to grill, broil, steam or poach oily fish so that their natural fats can drain while they are cooked.
* To thaw frozen fish or seafood, thaw slowly in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
* If you don't oil your grill, the fish will stick, and break apart when you try to remove it.
