monk fish recipe

As fish has such a small amount of connective tissue, it requires very little cooking. If it is overcooked, the flakes fall apart and the fibers become tough, dry and tasteless. There are several ways of cooking fish, but the cooking process should, in general, be short and painless. Although fillets are more popular, most cooks agree that fish on the bone as with meat has more flavor.

Fish is not only healthy but tasty as well. Most people think that preparing a fish meal is difficult. Also, there is the concern of being able to purchase those that are fresh. Using fish as a main ingredient in a dish is not complicated.

I will give here some tips that would be helpful when you will be buying and cooking fish.

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

* Some varieties of fish contain more fat, such as salmon or tuna, which can be cooked until opaque on the outside while remaining somewhat translucent on the inside.

* When pan frying fish, fill a skillet with 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch of oil and preheat to 350 degrees.

* Each serving should be about 6-8 ounces for fillets or steaks, and 8-12 ounces for whole fish.

* If you are using fillets, you can sandwich them with stuffing or roll them up, then oven-bake them.
