Cooking Chart for Fish
By Ray Zimmerman
I have found that many individuals are not sure on how long to cook fish. I have tried to take the guess work out of cooking fish by providing this Fish Cooking Chart. Regardless of the way in which you prepare your fish, the finished product should always be moist and flaky. The cooking times will vary depending on the size of fish that you are preparing and the way in which the fish will be cooked. Nutritionists recommend that we should get 2-3 servings of fish each week because fish are known to be low in fat and high in essential omega-3 fatty acids which are required to maintain a healthy lifestyle. When cooking fish, you will need to be somewhat vigilant since fish is much more delicate than meat. If the fish is overcooked, you will be serving dry fish that has little or no flavor. If you are not familiar with cooking fish, you will lessen the possibilities of overcooking your fish by utilizing this cooking chart. This chart provides a list of the most popular ways in which to prepare fish. Even though you can prepare fish in numerous ways, some fish are generally limited in the ways that they are normally served. For example, you will find that catfish is usually deep-fried while flounder and halibut are primarily broiled. Redfish has been popularized in recent years as pan-fried (blackened redfish). Don't worry if your cookbook collection is missing a book on how to prepare fish. There are a tremendous number of fish recipes on the internet to select from.

• Steaks.... 1 Inch Please be advised that the mentioned cooking times are approximate and will vary depending on the type and thickness of the fish being cooked. Fish are considered to be done when the fish is opaque white and has a flaky texture. Overcooking will result in both the loss of texture and flavor.
