Fish & Seafood/marinating fish

Question
I have some fresh caught white fish that has been filleted and frozen.  Is is appropriate to marinate it in a white wine, or should I just dip it in flour and fry it?

Answer
Hi Johanna,

Thanks for your excellent question. Marinating your fish in a little white wine would be appropriate, to add flavor to your fish if you are baking it. However, make sure you don't leave it in the marinade more than 20 minutes or so or it may turn mushy. Just flouring and frying are good too!

Let me know if I can clarify anything for you.

Best,

Jennifer
