    • @Nclght
      @Nclght Před rokem +10

      To be clear and according to ATK , fresh fish , unless sourced locally, usually means "freshly frozen." Most fishing vessels freeze fish immediately upon hauling them in. Most fish markets simply thaw them out . So buying frozen fish can sometimes be fresher than the fresh fish at most markets.

    Here we go...! I have no fresh lemon or thyme, so I'll season the fish with lemon pepper and dried(powdered} thyme lightly, no salt since lemon pepper has salt. I'll use thawed/frozen whole garlic cloves w/o smashing as well. When basting I'll use a no-no... lemon juice in a plastic lemon!! I have learned from every one of you since B4 the internet, and wrinkles, gray hair, and my exquisite grandpa bod thanks to butter basting! I remember Julia w/Julia C. even B4 my neighbors asked my "secrets". They asked how/who and I'd say...TV, now internet. Thank you all for your time in doing these things for me and my fellow foodies. we may have coined that term for ATK when nobody else was teaching exact methods and alternatives...You have taught us well.

    A handy tip to avoid having the fish stick (on a stainless) pan: Take your filets out of the refrigerator and stick them on an unheated pan, about 30 minutes or more before cooking. A paper sheet underneath is fine. This will get the cold filets to room temperature a bit faster. It will help you get a better browning because the inside of the filet will not be cooling off the outer surface so fast as it is browning. I also use this method for other proteins and to help thaw foods. A heavy stainless pan is a great heat sink, so it will warm up the fish without cooking it. You may not need to do this on a non-stick pan, but it will still give you a nicer crust.

      Agree, 8638marc! I suggest that you add "of the refrigerator" to your 1st sentence of your tip so everybody understands the point that you are making. This point does not apply to the freezer, however, and I think that adding this additional clarification adds even more value to your great tip. For frozen fish, you need to take the time necessary to completely defrost the fish, and this can take longer than an overnight stint in the refrigerator.

    • @kitcatmeowpurr745
      @kitcatmeowpurr745 Před rokem +6

      I don't agree because room temperature meat or fish will start to leach (seep out) out the juices faster AND seep into the outer skin, causing the outer skin to absorb the liquid and slow down the browning process. Then the room temperature flesh will begin to cook faster, resulting in more dry on the inside flesh. The same is true with a quality steak. Chefs recommend chilling the meat for 20 or 30 min in the refig FIRST. Then making sure the skillet is HOT before adding the meat to hot oil or butter, SEERING the outer skin. This will brown the outside FIRST, and then you can transfer the entire pan to an open flame broiler or oven to finish cooking the inside to either rare or med well doneness. You can use a meat thermometer to get the exact doneness. Many chefs recommend not cooking the fish or meat to 100% of your desired time, because even after you remove it from the pan, the internal heat is still cooking the meat.
      I have tried cooking "room temperature" meat ot fish in a SEMI HOT skillet, and the LIMP ROOM TEMPERATURE meat or fish, can easily stick to the pan and or dry out too fast while the inside is too raw ! NO NO NO !
      If you notice Asian chefs, they use ice cold seafood, and blazing hot pans and their seafood is cooked to perfection every time ! The Japanese seer fish all the time with their BLAZING HOT Teppan table top grills (like Benihana style) and the fish always has a beautiful "crust" and super juicy inside !
