* Instant death: Boiling water is incredibly hot (around 212°F or 100°C). Fish are living creatures, and this extreme temperature would cause instant, agonizing death.
* Cooking method: Fish are typically cooked using gentler methods like steaming, poaching, or pan-frying. Boiling would result in a tough, overcooked, and unpleasant texture.
* Loss of nutrients: The high heat of boiling can destroy valuable nutrients in the fish.
* Unpleasant taste: Boiling fish usually results in a bland and watery flavor.
Instead of boiling, try these methods for cooking fish:
* Steaming: This preserves moisture and flavor.
* Poaching: Gentle simmering in liquid for a delicate texture.
* Pan-frying: Searing in a hot pan for crispy skin and a flavorful interior.
* Baking: A good option for whole fish or fillets.
Remember, always treat your fish with respect and cook it in a way that ensures both flavor and ethical treatment.
