fish and chips recipes

One of the easiest ways to cook fish is to bake it. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and place the seasoned, coated fish onto a lightly oiled baking sheet or shallow baking pan. Bake the fish for about 10 minutes per inch of thickness. As with pan frying, the white fish is properly cooked when its color turns opaque and it begins to flake when a fork is inserted into the center.

Here is a list of quick tips:

* When cleaning fish, avoid rough treatment because wounds in the flesh can allow the spread of bacteria.

* 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.

* If the fish has been properly cooked, the meat will appear opaque but will still be moist.
