Did you know that fish is relatively low in fat and cholesterol and that it is high in protein as well? Fish are good for you and they are easy to prepare!
If there is a secret to cooking fish, it is probably to not overcook it. Your cooking time is determined by the method used and the size of the fish. The kind of fish can also make a difference. Fish is done when it flakes easily when tested with a fork. If you cook it too long, it may dry out and /or have a tough or rubbery texture.
Clean fresh caught fish promptly, wrap and place on ice or in refrigerator. Prior to cooking, check fillets for bones. If you are freezing some of your catch, be sure to use freezer paper or paper bags. Some people freeze their fish in cartons filled with water.
If you have a very large fish and prefer thinner fillets, use a sharp fillet knife to slice fillets across the grain. Partially thawed fish slice easily. Thin fillets fry up nice and crisp!
Cooking fish over the coals may prove difficult, as it falls apart easily. Try roasting the fish over the coals with a flat piece of lightly-greased foil. Foil wrapped fish roasts quickly over hot coals, a tasty meal in minutes!!
Spray oil can be used in pan fry recipes and an electric fry pan with a non-stick surface is perfect for cooking fish at home!
