Fresh Fish

Although there are many methods that could be used to prepare fresh fish, here are some explanations about the top methods.

• Grilling – When grilling, it is best to lightly brush a piece of fresh fish with oil and then place it on a grill, but away from the hottest part of the fire. The fish will begin to release some of its own natural juices after a couple of minutes. This should keep it from sticking. Turn the fish over when light grill marks appear. This should only take a few minutes on each side.

• Broiling – When you broil fresh fish, you should use high temperatures and a direct heat source. The broiling process gives the cook better control over the heat and allows him to use a basting sauce without needing to worry about dripping on the coals or the gas source of a grill.

• Baking – Baking is another easy way to prepare fresh fish. To bake, rinse the fish under cold water, pat it dry and then place it in a shallow baking dish with the skin side down. Flavor can be added with salt, pepper, butter, olive oil or sauces. To avoid overcooking, bake at 425 degrees for 6-12 minutes per each inch of thickness.

Poaching, sautéing and steaming are also popular methods for preparing fresh fish.
