Some Tips on Seafood Cooking
* Rubbing lemon on your fingers before handling fish
will prevent odors from lingering on them.
* Include a slice of lemon with the water when boiling
or poaching. Not only does this help prevent the fish from
falling apart, it enhances the flavor.
* Try to use as much of the fish as possible. You can
flake the cooked fish from the skin and bones and use it in
recipes that call for flaked or canned fish.
* When baking or broiling, line the pan with foil.
This makes cleanup easier.
* Avoid overheating smoked fish. Remember that it is
already cooked. Overheating can make it dry and tough.
* When storing fish in a refrigerator, always cover it
tightly.
* Be sure to keep stored fish frozen until you use it.
* Use kitchen scissors when trimming crusts from
bread.
* Avoid leaving thawing fish in cold water too long.
This can ruin its flavor.
* Be sure to cook fish at the recommended temperatures
for the proper length of time, as called for in the recipe.
Failure to do so can destroy its taste.
