COOKING METHODS FOR SEAFOOD
DRY HEAT COOKING METHODS FOR FISH
1.GRILLING or GRIDDLING
Remember to apply oil on the griller before placing the fish
The fish may be coated with seasoned flour before cooking to
prevent skin sticking on the grill bar or griddle plate.
During cooking, fish need to basted frequently as dry heat can
dry the surface.
Keep the temperatures low & cook it for shorter time, as longer
time & high heat can cause flaking (flesh starts breaking)
2. BAKING
 When baking fish in an oven, as we know, fish usually takes
less time to cook, hence the brown color does not come easily.
 Hence to achieve a caramelizing color, fish can be browned in
a hot fry pan with little oil first, then finished inside in an oven.
 When cooking fish by baking or any dry heat methods, fish
with high fat content should be selected as lean fish dries fast.
Apply oil on the fish
before cooking
Additional garnish can
be given, if desired
Ready to eat fish after
baking
PAN FRYING & DEEP FRYING
They are very popular & quickest method of cooking fish,
these methods cook fish faster than any other dry heat methods
Both the methods are almost same, except, for pan frying use
less oil in a fry pan & for deep frying use more oil in a kadhai.
Make sure, the oil or fry pan is hot enough or else the flesh
may stick to bottom of the pan or become too oily.
Before start frying, fish can be coated with flour or batter or
breadcrumbs, the coating will prevent burning or sticking.
METHOD OF CRUMBING FISH
Coating fish with seasoned flour Passing the floured fish to beaten egg
Coating fish with breadcrumbs Deep frying fillets in deep fat fryer
MOIST HEAT COOKING METHODS FOR FISH
1.STEAMING
 It is a natural way to cook fish & shellfish without adding fats.
To steam fish, place it over a little boiling liquid in a covered pan,
steam inside cooks the fish & also save flavors & nutrients
The liquid used for steaming can be plain water or court bouillon
flavored with herbs, spices, aromatics or wine
They can also be steamed by wrapping them in butter paper
together with herbs, vegetables, butter or sauces & bake in oven
The above steaming method is called En Papillote (a pa pee yot)
Steaming fish in a covered bamboo
basket placing it over boiling liquid
Ready to eat steamed fish
EN PAPILOTTE METHOD FOR FISH
Cut out a
butter paper
Place the
marinated fish
Cover & crimp
the edges
Baked in an
oven
POACHING
To poach a fillet of fish, it is mixed with mirepoix, herbs, spices,
lemon or wine & court bouillon in a pan (just to cover the fillet).
The pan is then covered with a lid; the liquid is simmered on
top of a stove & cook it until the fish is tender.
After the fish is cooked, the liquid can be strained, thickened &
served with fish or any other sauce can also go along with it.
Poaching a fish
STORING OF SEAFOODS
The most important point need to remember when storing
seafood is the temperature.
All fresh seafood should be stored at temperatures between
1ºC- 4ºC.
Most whole fishes are brought on ice & should be stored with ice
in a strainer (so that melted ice water drains away) in refrigerator.
Fabricated fish cuts with the exposed flesh e.g. fillet should be
wrapped in plastic before packaging to prevent damaged by ice.
Fresh fish stored on ice should be drained & re-iced daily.
Never store live shellfish (such as lobster, crabs & other
crustaceans) wrapped in plastic & do not ice on them.
They must be kept in saltwater tank; icing them or keeping in
freshwater will kill them.
Many seafood are purchased frozen; they must be kept at
-18ºC or at much colder temperatures.
Frozen seafood have long shelf life & remain in good condition
for long time.
Before using them, they must be thawed placing in refrigerator,
never submerge in water to thaw them, that deteriorate the taste.
