How Do I Know When My Fish is Cooked? • Seafood Nutrition Partnership (1)

Many types of fish are delicate and tender, so you want to avoid overcooking them. The best way to tell if your fish is done is by testing it with a fork at an angle, at the thickest point, and twist gently. The fish will flake easily when it’s done and it will lose its translucent or raw appearance.

A good rule of thumb is to cook the fish to an internal temperature of 140-145 degrees. Try the 10-minute rule, which says you should measure the fish at its thickest point, and cook it for 10 minutes per inch, turning halfway through the cooking time.
