Fish cooking tips

-When batter frying fish, make sure the batter is cold; it will prevent soaking up too much oil. Make sure your oil is hot by dropping in a small piece of bread; it should brown within a minute.

-Never be afraid to experiment with recipes. Change the seasonings to reflect your personal tastes.

-Be very careful not to overcook fish. Fish cooks more quickly than most people realize.

-To keep fried fish crispy while cooking, place cooked pieces in warm oven on a wire rack over a paper towel lined plate.

-Spend the extra time making sure no bones remain in your fillets. Nothing puts off the appetite more quickly than finding bones in your fish.

-Leftover fish? Cut it into bite sized pieces and add it to a salad.

-Try the microwave if you're dieting. Fish cooks quickly and tastes great with just lemon juice and seasoning. Watch the fish carefully, the micro cooks it quick.

-Basting lean fish such as walleye and bass when broiling will help keep them from drying out.
