Learn how easy it is to
Cook Fish
Common Types of Fish

Haddock  Mild white fish

Cod  Mild white fish

Tilapia  Mild and inexpensive white fish, thin filets

Catfish  Will have bones, great for blackening

Trout  Will have bones, nice for grilling

Salmon   Buy the long filets with the bone removed, not the cross sections where you would have to
remove the bones yourself.  You can remove the skin before or after cooking.  Very flavorful, you can
season this fish with more robust seasonings or sauces.

Tuna Steak Great grilled.  You don't want to overcook this type of fish, cook it like a steak,
medium-rare.


Cooking Variations

The trick to making good fish is to not to over cook it.  Once it is no longer translucent
it is done.  Remember a thin filet does not need to be cooked as long as a thicker
piece of fish.

Breaded  Dip the fish in a beaten egg, then seasoned bread crumbs.  Deep fry or bake at 350
degrees until brown.
      
Baked  Season, then brush with melted butter or orange juice and bake for 25 minutes in an oven
at 350 degrees.
     
Grill  Season, then baste with melted butter and lemon
      
Pan fry Season, then pan fry on medium heat with a little olive oil.

Deep Fried  Create a batter by mixing 1 cup beer and 1 cup flour.  Dip the fish into the batter and
place into hot oil in a deep fryer.  Once the fish is brown on both sides it is done.  Remove it and
drain it on paper towels.
