How to cook fresh fish?

Question

My son caught his first fish yesterday. They cleaned it, and he brought it home. He wants me to cook it for dinner tonight, but I don't eat fish, nor have I ever cooked it. I am happy to try any recipe ( I am a pretty good cook), but don't even know where to start. Being that it is super fresh, and he is only 6, I am not looking for anything too fancy. Just easy and delicious. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 2

You didn't say what type of fish. First answerer is very good, but you can't read her Avatar name. Anyway, you can pan fry it too in butter and garlic, especially if it is a small fish like a bluegill or pumpkinseed. If it is a bass or trout you probably want to bake it. For a walleye you would pan fry after coating like you would for deep frying. For a catfish you want to fry. If it's a carp or sucker fish go to the store and get something else and cook that and tell your son it's his fish.

Answer 3

place piece on fish on big piece of foil. season with salt pepper crushed garlic pat of butter and some lemon juice and zest.

sprinkle a few breadcrumbs on top if you want

next add veggies like sliced zucchinis and chopped tomatos on top of fish and season them,

seal foil tight so you have a pouch. place pouches on baking dish and bake at 350 for 15 min
