3 Ways To Cook Freshly Caught Fish

You can cook a freshly caught fish in dozens of ways. Most anglers have their unique style of cooking freshly caught salmon, trout, or any other fish. In fact, anglers all over the country are a rich source of information on how to cook freshly caught fish. The following tips will help you create mouth-watering dishes with the fish that you have just caught.

1. Fried Fish

One of the best ways to cook freshly caught fish is to bread it and fry it. The aroma of fish frying in butter is almost too good to be true, and the sight of a fisherman flipping his catch in the frying pan is awe-inspiring.

If you are an amateur, ensure that the butter is very hot, but not burning hot. Also, ensure that you have completely coated the fish with batter. You can season your batter with as much salt and pepper as you wish. In addition, you can also experiment with other spices and herb to produce a really srumptious dish.

2. Grilled Fish

At first, grilling seems to be the easiest method of cooking fish. An amateur, especially, might make the mistake of thinking that the experience of grilling fish is similar to that of grilling meat.

Amateurs will soon learn that fish tends to give some trouble when it is being grilled. It releases some juice when it is cooked, unlike chicken or steak. When you are grilling fish for the first time, you might let the delicious juice drip into the burning coals. This could reduce the quality of the dish you are preparing.

To avoid loss of moisture, give the fish a coating of oil. Oil serves to trap the moisture within the fish. Instead of giving the fish a coating of oil, you can pack it in an aluminum foil, which serves to prevent the loss of moisture from the fish. It also enables the marinating of fish in its own delicious juice. You can also put some spices and herbs inside the foil so that you can get grilled fish that tastes wonderful.

Keep a sharp watch on the fish and turn it over when it is half done. You can make a cut into the fish to find out the extent to which it is cooked. After flipping the fish over, watch it carefully, and remove it when it is perfectly cooked.

3. Baked Fish

If you don’t have the time to watch fish while it is cooking, you had better go in for baking. Prepare the marinade for the fish and heat your oven. Simply place the marinated fish into the pre-heated oven for a short while. You might have to check the fish from time to time in order to avoid overcooking.

Irrespective of the type of freshly caught fish, a good recipe coupled with skillful cooking can give you a simply delicious dish. Fish that is badly cooked can spoil your fishing trip. So take your time with regard to cooking the fish. The golden rule of cooking fish is not to overcook it because overcooking simply ruins the dish.
