Choosing Fish

A fresh fish should have a stiff body, tight scales, and firm flesh.

The gills should be red, and the eyes bright and bulging.

A finger pressed into the flesh should leave no indentation.

The outside should have little or no slime and the fish should smell fresh.

Cooking Fish

To check for doneness, look to see if the flesh is firm and it flakes easily with a fork.

You should cook fish about 10 minutes for every inch of thickness.
