Fish
Arranging
Thin fillets of fish i.e.
plaice, should be rolled up
prior to cooking to avoid
overcooking on the thinner
outside edge and tail.
Fish steaks should be
arranged in a circle,
thicker part to the outside.
Cover with cling film or lid.
Liquid
Fresh
fish should always
be sprinkled with 30 ml
(2 tbsp) of water, lemon
juice or white wine.
When cooking
Frozen
fish, add liquid as above
for even cooking.
Do not sprinkle salt onto
fish before cooking as this
may make the fish dry.
Noise
During cooking, popping
sounds may be heard.
This is due to moisture
trapped between the
flesh, particularly with oily
fish such as salmon and
mackerel. This can be
minimised when cooking
the fish if the skin and
flesh is pierced several
times with a cocktail stick.
