ahi tuna recipes

Depending on the flavor and texture you are looking for, there are many different ways to cook fish. You might be cooking steaks, fillets, or whole fish and there are many methods to try. Stuffing is a good way of adding flavor and texture. Using round fish is best because they have a bigger body.

Americans tend to eat twice as many fish dinners at restaurants as they do at home largely because they are unsure how to properly prepare fish. Here are some easy and common sense tips about cooking fish at home.

* Perfectly cooked fish should flake easily and be opaque with just the faintest amount of translucency in the middle.

* For moister broiled fish, first steam or poach the fish until close to being done and then brown it under the broiler.

* Make sure that the fish is well coated in batter.

* 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.

* For the best possible pan-frying results, take extra care to ensure that the butter or oil is hot and that the fish is well coated with batter.
