What is the most common mistake when cooking seafood?
One of the most common mistakes when cooking seafood is overcooking it. Seafood, especially fish and shellfish, cooks quickly, and leaving it on the heat too long can make it dry, tough, or rubbery. To avoid this:
- Cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork but is still moist inside.
- Shrimp should turn pink and opaque but remain tender.
- Scallops should be seared to a golden brown on the outside while staying slightly translucent in the center.
Using a thermometer can help—most seafood is done at 125–145°F depending on the type.
