grilled shrimp recipes

There are plenty of different ways of cooking fish and it is fun to try different methods. Depending on whether you are using a whole fish, steaks of fillets, you might like to try braising, deep or shallow frying, steaming or even cooking the fish on a wood fish board. Stuffed fish tastes delicious and adds texture. Round fish are the best for stuffing because the body cavity is larger. Most stuffing is made from breadcrumbs, which expand when they cook, so do not use too much. If you are using sea bass, a parsley and walnut pesto makes a great stuffing. If you have fillets, you can sandwich them with stuffing or roll them, then oven-bake them.

There are many cooking methods, here are some tips on how to make your meals rise up and taste great.

* To steam fish, put it in a steamer over boiling water and make sure you use a tight fitting lid.

* If the fish flakes too easily, it may be overcooked.

* Another test to use for doneness is to check the meat with a knife to see if it is firm and beginning to separate or flake.

* Make sure that the butter is extra hot but not yet burning.
