Method for Seafood
The cooking time of fish (and seafood) is
based upon thickness rather than on
weight. Fish should be washed quickly and
thoroughly to preserve the natural taste
and flavour. Avoid overcooking fish -
remember it will continue to cook after it
is placed on a serving dish. Allow frozen
fish to thaw before steaming for more
even cooking.
A handful of fresh herbs, a few aromatic
vegetables (such as carrots and celery),
garlic, vinegar, lemon, peppercorns or
cloves, etc. and a good quality white wine
when added to the steaming liquid will
impart extra flavour to the steaming food.
Reduce the steam liquid and use it as a
base for soups or sauces.
