Thought I would have a quick and easy meal tonight sous vide cod fillets with a quick egg sear. Well the roasted broccoli was good but boy did I screw up the fish. Tasted like rubber. SWMBO said it was okay due to the number of good cooks that come from the egg!

Forgiveness from S is all that really matters. Especially if (like me) you like broccoli._____________

I think I messed up the vacuum sealing I had it on dry and sucked the crap out of it filled up the tray in the food saver twice before I realized what i was doing. it came out the sous vide after 20 minutes at 125 and was overcooked. That and the fact the quack has me on no salt due to blood pressure I'm adjusting to cooking without...Lynnwood WA

Hey double, can you put frozen fillets into the sous vide bath at say 115 s as not to overcook?Cen-Tex any ideas?Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Hey @skiddymarker
Sure. Rubbery texture can be a property of the fish (had some lousy cod from Sam's), but also cooked too long or too hot, or soaked in acid and cooked (but sounds like the lemon juice was sucked out). SV doesn't have many advantages for fish, unless it's a thick filet. There's no breaking down connective tissue, so it's mostly a means to not overcook - the bane of fish cooking.

Sofa King incredible. I had a white truffle (real stuff) tartar with house pickled veggies and bruschetta, and a scallops and fois gras entre (I know, never heard of that combo before) with some unidentifiable wild vegetation and sauces. I licked the plate clean.
