seafood chowder recipe

Fish can be steamed or poached and get excellent results. To steam fish, place it in a metal or bamboo steamer. Place the steamer into a saucepan that has water that has been seasoned with lemon, ginger, or any seasonings from your favorite recipe. The fish can be poached by lowering it into a liquid that is simmering but not boiling. A boiling liquid will cook the fish too quickly and cause the outside of the fish to overcook. The poaching liquid can contain any aromatic herb or vegetable that you enjoy. Cooking times are only a few minutes and depend on the thickness of the fish. As always, test the fish if fully cooked with the color and flake tests.

Here is a list of quick tips:

* Olive oil or a combination of oil and butter will give the fish a tasty crispness.

* Baking cooks fish quickly at a high temperature and you can bake fish fillets, steaks, whole fish, or seafood.

* If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning on the grill.

* Never use water from close proximity marinas, municipal or industrial discharges, always use potable water.

* Cook it as soon as possible to minimize the loss of juices.
