Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

2. Use thawed fish the same day. It cannot be refrozen.

3. Fish must be thawed before cooking, especially when using the microwave.

4. When purchasing frozen fish, make sure it is frozen solid and that it has a good freshness date. Purchase it last so that it will not begin to thaw out while you are shopping.
