Fresh Caught Fish Cooking Preparation

Introduction

Fresh caught fish is a treat. It's easy to prepare, and it tastes great. If you've ever bought fresh fish at the store, you know how expensive it can be. By preparing your own fish from scratch and cutting down on the grocery bill, you can save money while still enjoying good food!

Clean the fish

Clean the fish.

Remove any skin or scales, then cut the fish into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then cook on both sides until they are cooked through but still moist inside.

Use a sharp knife and use a cutting board.

Flip the fish over once it's been cut, so that you can see what's underneath it. If you don't flip it over, your knife will slip and make cuts in both sides of each piece of fish as well as possibly slicing off some more than necessary!

Salt and pepper the fish

Salt and pepper are the most common spices used to season fish. They add a pleasant taste, as well as help preserve the meat from becoming too dry or tough. Salt can also be used to enhance the flavor of your dish by allowing you to add it directly into water or broth that is being prepared.

Salt and pepper are easy ways to season fish without having to go out of your way too much; just sprinkle some salt on top of each piece before placing it into whatever sauce or marinade you're using! You can also use ground black pepper instead if preferred (but make sure not too much).

In a hot skillet, brown the fish on both sides

In a hot skillet, brown the fish on both sides. A nonstick pan is best for this. If you're using cast iron, use oil or butter to prevent it from sticking to the pan and burning.

If you're using a saucepan, heat up oil until it begins to smoke and then add your fish fillets; cook until golden brown on each side (about 2-3 minutes per side).

Woks are also great for cooking fish because they allow for even heating across all parts of the surface which makes for an easier cooking experience overall!

Remove from heat and drain. This can be done in the oven on high for 5 minutes. Place under broiler for 5 minutes.

Place fish on a platter, top with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs if desired.*

Try this recipe to cut down on your grocery bill.

Try to use fresh fish. Overcooked or frozen fish can be difficult to cook, so try to keep your options open by looking for fresh sources of protein when you're grocery shopping.

Less salt, oil and butter: It's important to remember that less is more when cooking with fresh seafood—especially if you have a family that needs the added flavor from these ingredients (or just wants the extra satisfaction). So cut back on the amount of salt in your recipe and use less of it; also reduce amounts of butter and oil as well.

Less flour: Flour gives food its texture; however, too much flour can make foods taste greasy instead of light and crisp as they should be when cooked properly! Therefore we recommend replacing some or all of our standard 1 cup measuring cup with 1/2 cup measuring cups instead when preparing our recipes below since they will leave us feeling satisfied without tasting overly heavy on our mouths after eating them later down line into tomorrow morning...

Conclusion

This recipe is a great way to use up your catch. You will save money by buying fish in bulk and preparing it yourself. The only thing you need to worry about is making sure that the fish has been cleaned properly, as this can make or break your meal.
