Methods for Cooking A Whole Fish

Purchasing a whole fish is more affordable than purchasing filets but it does require a bit more attention as you will need to gut and scale the fish and there will be bones to contend with once cooked. On the other hand, a whole fish in itself, is an excellent vessel for cooking! Popular methods include grilling, roasting, steaming and frying all of which produce a moist, scrumptious result. Ask any chef and they'll tell you the best way to cook fish is to cook it whole. The meat retains the juice and meat stays tender compared to cooking fish fillets.
