I'm making fish for supper, and I HATE fish, so I don't know how long to cook it for. Any suggestions?

Question

The fish is already marinated, and I don't want it to be the consistency of rubber!!

Answer 1

it only takes very little time for fish to cook. If you have a fish steak or chunk of fillet, and decide to pan fry it, then it's just a matter of minutes. It really depends on how thicks the slice is. if it's about 1 inch thick, a few minutes (say 2-3 minutes) each side should be enough. One thing to remember is never to turn it over more than once or touch it while it's cooking as it will break and will look horrible.

Answer 3

Generally speaking, cook it until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Don't over cook it or it will be dry. You can look up approximate times for different fish and method of cooking because it also depends on those things and the thickness of the fish. I personally suggest the Joy of Cooking.

Answer 4

It depends on the fish, but either way just keep an eye on it. It doesn't take too long at all.

Answer 5

Just 2 or 3 minutes per side, or 5 minutes total if you don't want to turn it.

Answer 6

yes, food always tastes better when you don't hate it. most fish cook quickly, so do pay attention!

Answer 7

Once it starts to flake away with a fork it's done.

Answer 8

I suggest that you stop making food you hate. If you don't enjoy it, it won't come out right.
