By Ferdinand Okeke

A freshly caught fish can be prepared in many 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 newbie fisherman, make sure that the butter is extra hot but not yet glistening. Again, make sure that the fish is properly coated in batter. Season your batter to your heart's content, salt and sweet pepper never goes wrong. You may want to add other herbs and spices with the batter for a more delectable fish.

2. Grilling

Initially, grilling would seem to be the easiest way to handle your fish. A neophite might assume that grilling fish is the same as grilling steaks or burgers. Unlike fowl or cattle, fish tends to produce most of its own juices when cooked. On a grill the delectable juice drips into the coals.

In order to avoid losing the moisture, start by coating the fish with oil. The oil will glue a part of the moisture inside. Second, keep an eye on the fillets and stir them as soon as a cut would reveal that the fresh fish is cooked halfway through. After being flipped, monitor the fish carefully. Remove the fish as soon as it is cooked through.

An alternative to basting the fish with oil is to wrap it in aluminum foil. The aluminum foil will maintain the moisture and marinate the fish in its own moisture. Placing herbs and spices inside the foil with the fish boosts the grilling process and the fish itself.

3. Baking

Thermogenic is the best option for the fisherman who does not want to watch over the fish during preparation. The fisherman can prepare the marinade and pre - heat the oven, then toss the fish into the oven for a predetermined amount of time. You may prefer to check on the fish intermittently, in order to ensure that you don't overcook the fish.

Whatever fish you caught, a good recipe and adequate cooking for sure will enhance the catch. Take time to prepare for cooking, a badly cooked fish will undoubtedly spoil your day. Do not forget the first rule of cooking; don't overcook your fish. - 17268
