A freshly caught fish can be cooked
in a thousand and one ways. Any fisherman worth his salt has his own unique way
of cooking a freshly caught trout, salmon or whatever fish he caught. So
fisherman all across the country has been handed down methods of cooking fish.
Here are some tips to get the best out of your fish.
1. Frying
Breading and frying a freshly
caught fish is as good as it gets. The smell of butter emanating from the
frying pan and the flair a fisherman puts in flipping his catch is worth its
weight in gold, almost. For the novice fisherman, make sure that the butter is
extra hot but not yet burning. Also, make sure that the fish is well coated in
batter. Season your batter to your heart's content, salt and pepper never goes
wrong. You may want to try other herbs and spices with the batter for a more
delicious fish.
2. Grilling
At first glance, grilling would
seem to be the easiest way to handle your fish. A newbie might assume that
grilling fish is the same as grilling steaks or burgers. Unlike fowl or cattle,
fish tends to secret most of its own juices when cooked. On a grill the
delicious juice drips into the coals.
To prevent losing the moisture,
first coat the fish with oil. The oil will seal a part of the moisture inside.
Second, keep an eye on the fillets and turn them as soon as a cut would reveal
that the fresh fish is cooked halfway through. After being flipped, watch the
fish carefully. Remove the fish as soon as it is cooked through.
An option to basting the fish with
oil is to wrap it in aluminum foil. The aluminum foil will keep the moisture
and marinate the fish in its own moisture. Placing herbs and spices inside the
foil with the fish enhances the grilling process and the fish itself.
3. Baking
Baking is the best option for the
fisherman who does not want to watch over the fish during cooking. The
fisherman can prepare the marinade and pre-heat the oven, then pop the fish
into the oven for a predetermined amount of time. You may want to check on the
fish from the time to time, ensuring that you don't overcook the fish.
Whatever fish you caught, a good
recipe and proper cooking will for sure enhance the catch. Take time to prepare
for cooking, a badly cooked fish will no doubt spoil your day. Remember the
first rule of cooking, don't overcook your fish.
