Other Cooking Methods for Fish

  • About

Some cooking methods suit only certain fish. Tuna, for instance, is so meaty it can be treated like veal and braised with red wine and a mirepoix of vegetables. Monkfish, eel and other firm fish are good stewed with white wine, onions, tomato or artichoke.

Stir-frying is another method best suited to firm fish: fragile types crumble too quickly in the fierce heat. As always with stir frying, Asian seasonings, such as fresh ginger, soy and oyster sauce come to mind; these are best with fish like grouper and shark. The fish should be cut in small, even pieces and cooked for only a short time with vegetables such as Chinese mushrooms, broccoli sprigs, snow peas, asparagus, bamboo shoots or a mixture of vegetables cut in julienne strips.
