Shrimp Appetizer Or Salad Recipes Everything You Need To Know

Fish can be cooked in many ways including baking, broiling, frying, grilling and steaming. A general rule for cooking fish is to measure it at its thickest point, then cook 8 to 10 minutes per inch. To test fish for doneness, use a fork. The fish should be opaque, its juices milky white. Undercooked fish is translucent, its juices clear and watery. Overcooked fish is dry and falls apart easily. Another test is to insert an instant-read thermometer at the thickest point and if it is done it will be 145°F.




There a lot of variables that we need to consider in cooking fish. Thickness, the temperature of the cookware in which the fish is cooked in and basically your personal preference. Fish is sufficiently cooked when it is firm and its meat is flaky. It is just important that irregardless on whether you fry the fish, roast, grill or whatever way you would to cook it, always preheat in advance the cooking equipment to avoid the fish from sticking to the pan and losing much of its moisture.
