Chef's notes

Fish cooking time:

It depends on the thickness of the fish for the cooking time. May calculate for 8 to 10 minutes per inch (2.5 cm) of tickness, measured within the thickest part of the fillet. This technique may be use as well with frozen fillet cooked without being thawed, but in this case, you may double the time of cooking.
