Ahi Tuna Recipes - Take Some Time To Learn
Fish can be cooked in many ways including baking, broiling, frying, grilling and steaming. A general rule for cooking fish is to measure it at its thickest point, then cook 8 to 10 minutes per inch. To test fish for doneness, use a fork. The fish should be opaque, its juices milky white. Undercooked fish is translucent, its juices clear and watery. Overcooked fish is dry and falls apart easily. Another test is to insert an instant-read thermometer at the thickest point and if it is done it will be 145°F.
When buying fish, it is important that you observe how the particular shop stores and displays the fishes they sell. Fish should be stored properly resting or partially buried in ice under sanitary conditions. Whole fresh fish have gills that are still pink or red. The fishs eyes are clear and shiny and its scales are reflective. If the fish has already been precut into filets or steaks, it should not be brown or dry and it should be moist.

Here are some cooking and buying tips to get you started:
* To prevent overcooking, you'll need to pull it out slightly before it's done.
* Allow extra time if fish will be baked while packed in an aluminum foil and allow extra time for the penetration of the heat.
* You can always cook it some more if it is undercooked, but you can't uncook it if it is overcooked.
* Perfectly cooked fish should flake easily and be opaque with just the faintest amount of translucency in the middle.
* Make sure your grill is clean and oiled.
