Here’s how you can tell if fish is done

 

Good question — fish can be tricky!

Here’s how you can tell if fish is done:

• Color: The flesh should turn from translucent to opaque.

• Flake test: Gently press a fork into the thickest part and twist slightly — if the fish flakes easily and separates, it’s done.

• Internal temp: If you want to be precise, cooked fish should hit 145°F (63°C) inside.

• Texture: It should feel firm but still moist, not mushy or dry.

If you’re ever unsure, it’s better to slightly undercook it — fish keeps cooking for a minute or two after you take it off the heat!
