Worth remembering in the warm weather when you don't want to spend much time in a hot kitchen! When BOILING or STEAMING fish allow For a thin piece, 7 minutes per pound and 7 minutes extra. For a thick piece, 10 minutes per pound and 10 minutes extra. When BAKING fish allow For a piece up to 4 pounds, 10 minutes per pound and 5 minutes for each additional pound, although the time required depends very largely on the thickness of the fish.
