Fish is cooked when it flakes easily and becomes opaque. For fish with a strong odour, eliminate the smell after cooking by placing 600 ml (1 pt) of boiling water and 1 sliced lemon in a large bowl, cook on SIMMER for 20 mins. If cooking 2 whole fish together, they should be arranged head to tail for even cooking. Large whole fish must have the tail and head shielded halfway through cooking with smooth pieces of tin foil secured with cocktail sticks. ARRANGING LIQUID Fresh fish should always be sprinkled with 30 ml (2 tbsp) of lemon juice, white wine or water. When cooking Frozen fish, add liquid as above for even cooking. Do not sprinkle salt onto fish before cooking as this may make the fish dry. NOISE During cooking, popping sounds may be heard.
