1. The best way to cook exquisitely fresh ocean fish is as little as possible

and let its own flavor shine through. Salt, pepper, lemon, and parsley will do it.

The best way to cook good frozen fish is with a rub and a stovetop grill.

The best way to cook not so good fish is Portuguese style, with onion, garlic, peppers, and tomato all wrapped up in a parchment parcel with the filleted fish.

2. That seems like good advice.

I have never used a rub on fish. The problem I have here in Richmond is finding fresh.

For the second time I bought wild caught cod from Costco. It it the whole fillet from head to tail. It's not cheap, and I don't know if it's been frozen at some point or packed in ice. I think ice because the whole fillet is folded onto itself.

I use your first cooking method and it falls apart if you are not careful.

3. I happen to be very fond of my blackened catfish.

I dip the fish in a milk and egg wash, then in bisquick and repeat. Then fry nicely in olive oil until blackened, finish in a 350 degree oven for about ten minutes.

I pair this with stir-fried veggies.
