Many people are intimidated of fish because of bad experiences with cooking it. Are you one of those people? Not to worry. By following some common rules, you will be enjoying your favorite fish recipes.

Generally, fish take little time to cook, so you can count on a quick preparation. A good rule of thumb is fish take about 10 minutes to cook per 1 inch of thickness.

Most fish recipes are interchangeable.

It's better to know the proper properties of fish if you are going to substitute one for the other. Fish are grouped into lean, moderately oily, and oily.

Lean  fish will go nicely with buttery sauces or other liquids. It may be cooked using any method, but when baking or broiling, it should be basted with extra butter or oil to help prevent it from drying out.

Moderately oily  fish are particularly well suited for baking or broiling.

Use citrus juices, vinegar, or wine when cooking oily  fish if you prefer a milder taste.

A common rule of thumb is that white fleshed fish is lean, and dark or pink flesh fish are oily.

These recipes can be used and switched out for any specie of relative freshwater, brackish and saltwater fish.
