Fish

[brigid]

I'm a pretty decent cook (and baker) but have no experience with fish other than "buy fish frozen, cook according to directions" or "open can of tuna, mix with mayo etc."

Do you have any helpful fish tips, advice, or instruction? Any favorite fish recipes, the simpler the better?

I'm a big fan of shrimp. Which oddly, you should buy frozen - they will be fresher.

Defrost.

Toss in a vat of boiling water with spices, a lemon etc. With shell on, cook 4 minutes. Will be perfect.

Or toss in a pan with butter and/or oil. Cook until pink and the texture has changed- about the same time period.

They are easy enough to break into small portions, so you can try different approaches without spending a fortune.

For fish? I've had good luck just baking it.
