To preserve a fish's moisture, there are a couple steps that can be taken. First, coat the fish with oil. Oil will seal a portion of a fish's moisture inside. Next, keep careful watch over the fillets and flip them as soon as a cut into the fish reveals that the fish is cooked at least half way through. Once flipped, watch the fillets closely and remove the fish from heat as soon as it is cooked through.
Another option is to place the fish on, or wrap the fish in, aluminum foil. The foil will capture the moisture and allow the fish to marinate in its moisture while cooking.
Remember these easy tips with buying and cooking fish:
* If the fish flakes too easily, it may be overcooked.
* Cook it as soon as possible to minimize the loss of juices.
* A temperature between 350 F and 375 F is an ideal range for deep-frying. The correct temperature can be determined with the use of a candy thermometer.
