Cedar is the most common wood for cooking fish but you can also use oak, maple, alder, apple, or cherry. You can buy a cooking quality wood fish board from specialty food stores or online. A wood fish board lasts for one use.
Americans tend to eat twice as many fish dinners at restaurants as they do at home largely because they are unsure how to properly prepare fish. Here are some easy and common sense tips about cooking fish at home.
* Be careful not to over stuff the fish if you are using a breadcrumb stuffing, because breadcrumbs expand when cooking.
* Marinades are a good way to add flavor and moisture to the fish before cooking.
* To steam fish, put it in a steamer over boiling water and make sure you use a tight fitting lid.
* When baking fish, prepare the marinade, preheat the oven, and put the fish in for the prescribed amount of time. Be sure to check the fish often to ensure that it doesn't overcook.
* In order to retain its moisture, fish needs to be cooked quickly over high heat.
