Welcome to WFN’s Recipes page. Here, you’ll find all the information you need to help you create some tasty dishes.

Whether you’ve caught some fish that you plan on cooking, or you’re looking for some tips on how to buy the best possible fish you can from your local supermarket or grocery store, we’ve got you covered.

General Buying Tips

Whole Fish

If you plan on buying fish, freshness is key. If the fish that you’re purchasing isn’t fresh, your meal simply won’t be the best that it can be. Here are a few things that you’ll want to keep an eye out for when you’re making your purchase.

  • Pay attention to the eyes. If they look cloudy or dull, the fish is not fresh. Lifelike, bright, and clear eyes are the mark of fresh fish.
  • If the fish has a dull appearance, avoid it. Discolored patches are a sign that it’s past its best. It should have a shiny, lively appearance.
  • Fresh fish will smell clean, like the ocean. You might think that all fish will have a fishy smell, but this isn’t true – if it does have a fishy smell, stay away from it.
  • The gills should have a rich, deep red color. If the color is faded or dull, the fish is old.

Fish Fillets

All of the above rules apply, but there’s one more important thing to look for: if there’s liquid on the fillet, it should be clear and not milky. If it appears to be milky, the fish is beginning to rot.

General Cooking Tips

These are some very general tips - cooking methods vary from species to species, and whether or not you’re cooking a fillet or a whole fish. Check out the species pages to the right for more specific tips.

  • If the fish you’re cooking is less than ½ an inch thick, you don’t need to turn it.
  • In general, fish should be cooked for 10 minutes per inch, and turned halfway through the cooking time. This applies to fish that is being broiled or baked.
  • If you cover the fish in aluminum foil or sauce, add a minimum of five minutes to the cooking time.
  • If you’re cooking frozen fish, double the cooking time.
  • When the flesh is opaque and easily flakes, the fish is done cooking.
