carrot cake is uber underrated.



anyone have any fish tips. I dunno what im doing lately. My fish is not "crisping" or flaking, its mushy or mushy-ish. Im laying it on paper towels, patting that thing dry, i dunno maybe i need to let it sit out or something?

Two things I can think of as a possibility. Marinating the fish too long. Not cooking at high enough temps.

Marinate on fish, I'd probably only go 30 minutes, the piece that was probably too long especially if you had an acidic component, it was breaking down the fish, acid in juice is essentially cooking the fish, like ceviche (which is delicious)

I don't bake fish ever, I grill it or cook it in a pan on stovetop

Don't marinate too long, pat dry. I either grill it outside or in a pan, so baked fish is not my specialty, so kind of same concept

if fish is overcooked it turns into dry jerky, not mushy. I think issue is either marinated too long or there is too much moisture (not fully thawed if it was frozen, etc)




if not that, I have no clue

lolol.

ahhh ok, i will give those ideas a try, thanks. Yeah if anything it was way overcooked, because i wasnt temp checking i was waiting for some flake, then thought, this has to be too long. Checked temps and they were wayyyyyy high, but mushy, so overcooked, but didnt turn to crap either........





side note, first cast iron skillet comes today, any startup tips.........
flash frozen, the other two were fresh, i ended up freezing them for later use.

The GF is making Scallops fra diablo tonight. Too bad she's on another diet and so it's got some substitute for real pasta noodles. Too often these bitter vegetables really don't work. Don't replace white pasta with zucchini and expect nothing to change.
