What's the deal: should I cover my fish when baking, or leave it uncovered?

What's the deal: should I cover my fish when baking, or leave it uncovered? I'm new to cooking fish and getting conflicting advice. Can anyone share their experience or tips on whether it's better to cover the fish while baking or let it bake uncovered? Thanks a bunch!

From experience, I'd advise covering the fish while baking. It helps retain moisture and prevents it from drying out. Trust me, it makes a real difference in taste and texture.

Hello! From my experience, covering fish during baking helps retain its natural juices, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish. However, leaving it uncovered can yield a slightly firmer texture and a crispy exterior. It ultimately depends on the recipe and your desired outcome. Have fun experimenting in the kitchen!

Are you looking for a crispy exterior? Leaving it uncovered while baking will help achieve that.
