Lots and lots of love to everyone who has been affected by Hurricane Harvey. Please know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of so many, from all over the world ---



When I first started crockpotting every day, I got a ton of emails with people assuming that I would be eating only fatty, greasy, and fatty food.

I hope that through my emails and recipes you have branched out from that assumption -- and have started to experiment a bit more on your own.

I definitely have tried a lot of things over the past almost-ten-years, and not all were successful...

(trust me!) :-)

But I have for reals cracked the Fish in the CrockPot formula.

Parchment paper. or Foil.

Both can be used, interchangeably, to make moist and delicious flaky fish in the slow cooker with absolutely no fish smell, whatsoever.

#booyah!!

Our favorite fish is rather simple --- I usually start with a white fish on sale ---

Sole
Tilapia
Haddock 
Cod --

all of these are sort of bland on their own and can really be jazzed up by sauces and seasonings.


Steps to Make Perfect CrockPot Slow Cooker Fish

1)  Thaw your fish, or at least run it under water so it is somewhat pliable

2)  Spread out a length of parchment paper or foil onto your kitchen countertop.

3)  Put fish in the center of the foil.

4)  Add sauce, seasoning, lemon, etc etc.

5)  Fold foil or parchment paper over and crimp the sides in order to fully enclose the fish in a packet.

6)  Place this packet into your slow cooker.

7)  Turn to HIGH and let it cook for 2 hours.

(PS: yes, you do put the lid on the pot.) :-)

8)  Check. Your fish is finished when it flakes easily with a fork.

Be careful opening the packet -- the steam will shoot out and will be hot! Open it away from your face.

Our favorite recipes:


Another really great combination is to make a paste out of soy sauce and either honey and brown sugar -- with a squeeze of lime.

I hope this helps a bit to convince you to give fish a go in your pot! It's got to be easier to wrap your head around then the weirdos on the internet cooking it in the dishwasher right?
