Tips & Storage
- How to Store
- Fish is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
- Buying Tip
- Look for fish that smells fresh (like the ocean, not fishy), has firm flesh, and clear eyes if buying whole. Ask your fishmonger what's freshest that day.
- Cooking Tip
- Avoid overcooking fish — it should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. Most fish cooks in just 8-10 minutes per inch of thickness.
