Different ways to cook fish

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.

In order to get the best results from your baked fish recipes, you need to make sure the fish is defrosted properly. Frozen fish is just as nutritious as fresh fish and keeps in the freezer for weeks or even months, depending on the fish. You should defrost the fish on the lower shelves of the refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours.

Some tips for you:

* If you don't oil your grill, the fish will stick, and break apart when you try to remove it.
* To prevent overcooking, you'll need to pull it out slightly before it's done.
* Try not to thaw frozen fish completely before cooking, or it may make them very dry and mushy.
* It is better to undercook the fish a bit than overcooking it.
