Mar 24, 2016 at 21:14 comment added logophobe @BarAkiva If salmon and other fatty fishes are akin to steak, white fish is more like chicken; if undercooked, it's mushy, bland, and unpalatable (safety issues aside). Cod is just about the only such fish that I've seen served deliberately underdone in the center, and that wasn't a huge success. I agree with Catija's advice.
Mar 24, 2016 at 19:03 comment added Bar Akiva @catija What do you mean by that? Are there certain tiers of fish that are "unfit" for searing? Why are "white fish" not good for searing? And GdD. I do actually can make a decent medium rare Salmon so I am actually getting there.
Mar 24, 2016 at 16:32 comment added Catija I don't think I've ever had tilapia any way other than fully cooked (except by accident and it wasn't that pleasant)... It's not like tuna or salmon. Is there a reason you want to treat it like a higher-quality fish? I mean, it's a white fish, which means it's has little in the way of oils... it does much better when cooked gently over moderate heat (from my experience) or just outright battered and fried. Treat it more like catfish than fatty fishes.
Mar 24, 2016 at 16:15 comment added GdD Have you seared other fish successfully? If not maybe you want more general advice.
