As we know, India is the land of spices and fish! When you can combine two the results are always unbelievable! In one word, it is very hard to defeat Indians when fish recipes are concerned. If you wish to explore the flavors of the East then you are exactly in the right place.

However, before you begin to cook fish, there are a couple of things that you should learn! Some preparations are needed before you begin heating the skillets! Let's talk about those first.

How to determine that the fish you bought is fresh?

Now let's begin with the most common thing first! To choose the right fish! Well, how would you determine that the fish you bought is fine? You simply need to trust your nose. It is likely that most fishes will have a fishy odor but once it feels like a stench there is something to worry about.

Fresh fish will never smell like that, it won't have a distinct stench but rather the odor of saltwater. In case you find the fishy smell unusual, it is probably because it is too old.

Why should you pat dry the fish before?

It is always recommended to never skip the process of pat drying the skin of the fish! After all, you do not want the skin to accumulate excess moisture and then taste flabby!

Especially, if you are pan-searing then pat drying the skin becomes extremely essential. You can use a paper towel to accomplish the task! Just dab it on the surface a few times and you are good to go! The results will be crispy, sizzling, and delicious skin as you sear.

How to season your fish right?

The pan as well as the cooking oil should be preheated before the fish goes into the pan! The drastic rise and transition of temperature can affect the texture of your fish and make it hard. Fish often get overcooked if something like that happens.

Now you know how to avoid the same. A cold pan is a big no-no! In the case of the latter, only the exterior gets overcooked while the interior remains raw! Make sure you do not forget to preheat the pan and the oil first. Seasoning can be done based on the recipe that you are following

How to ideally place the fish in the pan?

Now there is a small but vital pointer to keep in mind! When it comes to cooking fish, even the placement of the fillets on the pan matters! Whether you are using a pan, skillet, or baking sheet, the skin should be placed downwards touching the hot oil! This helps the skin to get cooked properly and acquire a crispy texture.

It might scare you when the skin sticks to the pan initially! But there is nothing to worry about! You can later observe that as it sizzles and cooks, the skin separates from the pan eventually. This is a good indicator that your fish is ready to be flipped.

How much heat is ideal for cooking fish?

This is to be noted that seafood cooks much faster than any other protein! Hence if the heat is too high then they are prone to getting overcooked, stiff, dry, and hard.

Not the ideal adjectives you would use to describe the quality of your fish! Hence you are advised to keep the heat always low or at medium. If you are grilling the fish then you can choose to wrap it in foil as well for extra protection.
