Pat the fish dry and heat the pan before adding it. Use a little oil, then leave the fish undisturbed until it releases easily; trying to turn it too soon is a common reason it sticks or breaks.

Gentle methods such as baking in a covered dish, steaming, or cooking fish in parchment help retain moisture. Remove it as soon as the flesh is opaque and flakes easily, because even a short extra cooking time can dry out a thin fillet.

A strong, sour, or ammonia-like smell can mean the fish is no longer fresh; fresh fish should smell mild. To reduce cooking odors, ventilate the kitchen, use an extractor fan, and wash utensils and surfaces promptly after handling fish.

Keep raw fish in a covered container on the coldest refrigerator shelf and cook it as soon as possible, ideally within a day or two of purchase. Refrigerate cooked fish promptly in a sealed container and use it within a few days.

Yes, fish freezes well when wrapped tightly to prevent air exposure. Thaw it in the refrigerator or use a safe cold-water method, then cook it promptly; do not thaw fish on the counter, where its surface can warm too much.

Raw fish thawed in the refrigerator can be refrozen, although its texture may suffer. If it was thawed in cold water or a microwave, cook it before freezing again; never refreeze fish left at room temperature.

Run your fingers along the fillet to feel for pin bones, then pull each one out with clean tweezers in the direction it points. Check the whole portion before serving, especially when preparing fish for children.

Firm, thick fish steaks and sturdy fillets are easiest to grill because they hold their shape better than delicate, thin fish. Oil the clean grill grates, let the fish cook undisturbed, and turn it only once it releases easily.

Yes, fish can be part of a pregnancy diet, but choose lower-mercury types and eat them fully cooked. Avoid raw fish and high-mercury species; ask your prenatal care provider which local fish are safest for you.
