Tips for cooking fish
It’s customary to cook fish in Japanese households. You will see a seafood section in Japanese supermarkets that sell raw fish. If you want to live like a local and cook fish, please read on!
1. Preheat the oven
Prior to cooking your fish, preheat the oven for 5 minutes.
Not only will it prevent fish from sticking onto the grill. It will also make your fish look better when cooked and make cleanup much easier.
2. Cook on high heat for a grilled touch
You should initially cook at high heat to give the fish a grilled touch.
If there are burners only either upper or lower side of the grill, flip the fish over and cook at medium heat. If you use only high heat, the surface of the fish will get charred.
If you cook at only medium heat, you won’t get a grilled touch and it will take too long. It’s best to start of with high heat and lower to medium heat when the fish is half-cooked.
The gas oven’s high temperature will eliminate the smell of raw fish and add a freshly cooked aroma.
Compared to using a pan, the gas oven with give your fish a crispy surface with a hot juicy flesh. If you love a good seafood and want to eat fish Japanese style, this is definitely worth trying out!
