Steam cooking / fish

Duration

The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the texture of the fish, and not on the weight. The thicker the fish, the longer the cooking duration. A 3 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g will take longer to cook than a 2 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g.

The longer fish cooks, the firmer its flesh will become. Use the cooking durations given in the chart.

If you find that the fish is not cooked sufficiently only cook it for a few minutes more.

When cooking fish in sauce or stock, we recommend that you increase the cooking duration quoted by a few minutes.

Useful tips

Adding herbs and spices, such as dill, will help bring out the full flavour of the fish.

Cook large fish in the swimming position. To help maintain the shape of the fish, place a small cup or similar upside down in the cooking container, and arrange the fish bellyside down over the cup.

You can use any fish scraps, e.g. fish heads, bones, tails etc to make a fish stock. Place the fish scraps together with some mixed vegetables in a solid cooking container and add cold water. Cook at 100 °C for 60 to 90 minutes. The longer the cooking duration, the stronger the stock.

Blue fish is fish which is cooked in water and vinegar. It is important not to damage the skin of the fish. This method is suitable for cooking carp, trout, tench, eel and salmon.
