Cooked fish refers to fish that has been prepared through various cooking methods, such as baking, grilling, frying, or steaming. Cooking fish not only enhances its flavor but also makes it safer to eat by killing harmful bacteria and parasites. Common types of fish used in cooking include salmon, tuna, and cod. When cooking fish, it is important to ensure it reaches the proper internal temperature, typically around 145°F (63°C). This helps maintain its texture and moisture while ensuring it is fully cooked. Cooked fish can be served on its own or as part of dishes like fish tacos or sushi.
