When it comes to cooking fish, there are a few key things to keep in mind. Unfortunately, many people don’t know how to cook fish properly, which can lead to an unpleasant meal. In this blog post, we will provide you with tips on how to know fish is cooked and what to do if it isn’t. By following these tips, you will be able to create a delicious and safe meal for yourself and your loved ones.

Types of Fish

There are three main ways to tell whether fish is cooked through: color, texture and doneness.
Fish should be opaque when cooked through; it will have a smooth and evenly colored flesh. When done, the flesh should be slightly firm to the touch and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Although rare, some fish can still have a slightly raw or undercooked center which can cause it to flake when cooked. Avoid these fish by checking for doneness before removing from heat.

Another way to determine if fish is cooked through is by its texture. When cooked through, fish will be firm but not dry. It should also be easy to pierce with a fork – a sign that it has absorbed enough water and is cooked through all the way through.

Finally, check for doneness by using an instant-read thermometer. When fish is cooked thoroughly, the center will be moist and firm to the touch without being wet or pink inside.
