How To Cook Fish

There are many different types of fish and many different ways to cook fish. It is a good idea to include fish in your everyday diet due to the protein, fat, minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates and calories it provides. Cooking fish in certain ways can alter the taste, preparation time and the nutrients it continues to hold once being cooked.

Different ways to cook fish

•  
  • Baking fish is a popular method because it is easy to do and allows the fish to hold its flavour. This can be done easily by wrapping the fish in foil and placing in a pre-heated oven for as little as 20 minutes.

•  
  • Another option to think about would be to grill your fish. This gives the fish a slight crispness on the outer coating whilst leaving the inside light and fluffy. This is a method often used in many restaurants.

•  
  • Boiling fish is an alternative to grilling because it allows the fish to keep its soft inside and flavour, while also reducing the calories making it a great choice for healthy eaters.

•  
  • It is possible to even microwave cook fish, which is both simple of effective. However it sometimes reduces the nutrient levels if you choose to cook fish this way. Fish can also be fried, steamed and roasted.
