          Recommendations for Fat Fish | 
        
          | The fat in these fish enables 
          them to tolerate more heat without becoming dry. | 
        
          | 1. | Dry Heat Method -These 
          fish are well suited to this method. The dry heat helps to eliminate 
          some of the excess oiliness. | 
        
          | 2. | Dry Heat Method with Fat 
          -Large fat fish like salmon, or stronger flavored fish like bluefish 
          or mackerel are rarely cooked in fat. Smaller ones like trout are 
          often pan-fried. Take care to avoid excessive greasiness. Drain the 
          fish well before serving. | 
        
          | 3. | Moist Heat Method -These 
          fish, like lean fish, can be cooked by moist heat. Poached salmon and 
          trout are very popular. |
