Cooking fish can be intimidating for the first time, especially if you are unsure on types of fish to even get. Cooking fish is actually really easy to do and can be delicious from home. You can easily cook fish with minimal cooking tools and ingredients. For a beginner a tilapia makes a great fish to start with. You can simply pick up flash frozen tilapia at most stores.

One of the easiest ways to cook fish is to pan fry them. You will want a good quality stainless steel pan.

Start by thawing the fish filet in the refigerator over night. Once you are ready to cook, rince the filet off and pat dry. Add a 1/4 cup flour in a shallow bowl with 1 tsp of pepper and 2 tsp of salt. Stir the flour mixture. Place the fish into the mixture and gently coat both sides. Shake excess flower off of the fish filet. Heat pan and about a quarter cup of coconut oil until hot. After oil is hot add your fish filet. Cook on each side for two and a half minutes. You will know the fish is done when the flour coating is crispy and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Baking is another great way to prepare fish. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Put your thawed tilapia filet into an oven safe container along with a tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle fish with salt, pepper, and dill weed. You can even cut a lemon into rounds and place it on top of the fish. Then cook in the over for 20 minutes. You know it is done cooking when it easily flakes apart with a fork. If the fish is not done put back into oven for another five minutes and check again.

These are two easily ways to cook fish, but there plenty of other options available. There are a ton of great resources on how to cook fish, books like Fish: The Complete Guide to Buying and Cooking, make a great place to start looking.

Don't feel intimidated when cooking fish, it can be done quite easily.
