How do I keep fish moist when I cook it?
Whenever I cook fish, it gets dried out very easily. I like to grill fish on the barbeque but also cook scallops in a pan. Every time I do, the fish or shellfish is drr or dense. Help!
Answers:
Take the fish or scallops off the heat about 2- 3 minutes before you think it is done. It continues to cook from the residual heat.
The fish or scallops should be turning opaque/milky in the center right before you take it off the heat. Let it sit on a plate covered w/ tented foil for about 5 minutes so it can continue cooking.
