Methods on cooking fish.

In today's blog, I will give tips on how to cook fish my way. Usually for certain fish I would cook it by frying it, but theirs always different ways to do it. For Pickeral, I usually beer batter it then fry it, but I also BBQ it. Put the fish in foil, add some salt and pepper or Montreal Steak Spice, which is also good and add a lemon wedge for the steaming process. I would never put fish directly on the grill since it might stick and you can damage the fish. If you don't want to steam, lay tin foil on the grill, put some olive oil on the foil and grill that way. Tarter Sauce is the most commonly used sauce for fish, especially battered fish like Halibut or Pickeral. Its a sauce made of pickles and mayo and seasonings. Another method is to bake it also or even pan fry it, not deep fry. Their is a difference between the two. Pan fry is to shallow fry the fish in a bit of oil and deep frying is to use alot of oil. Even baking the fish is good, you can use the steaming method or even use the broiler in the oven. If you would like other tips on how to cook fish comment. Here is a recipe on Beer Battered Halibut/Pickeral:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
3/4 cup beer
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
2 pounds halibut fillets
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder, and dill. Add beer, milk, and eggs; mix well.
Place fish fillets in batter mixture, coat well, and let stand for 15 minutes.
Heat deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees Celcius). Place fish in hot oil, and fry until golden brown. Cook fish in batches to maintain oil temperature.And serve.
