So fisherman all across the country has been handed down methods of cooking fish. Here are some tips to get the best out of your fish.

* Flour is often used as a coating for foods that are fried. Pieces of fish are often pan-fried with a flour coating, which develops a crisp, flavorful crust, and an interior that is tender flaky.
