What's the ideal internal temperature for wahoo?

Your wahoo needs to reach 145°F to be safe to eat. But many chefs like to cook it to medium-rare (around 130-135°F). This helps keep the fish moist and tender.

How can I prevent my wahoo from drying out?

Quick cooking at high heat makes all the difference. Here are some tips to keep your fish juicy: - Cook hot and fast instead of low and slow - Look for the first signs of flaking - Take it off the heat with the center slightly translucent - Give it 5 minutes to rest after cooking

What's the best way to season wahoo?

Wahoo tastes great with many seasonings. These combinations work really well: - Lemon, butter, and fresh herbs - Cajun seasoning with a touch of garlic - Simple salt and pepper with olive oil

Can I cook wahoo from frozen?

Thawed wahoo gives you the best results. If you need to cook it frozen, add 50% more cooking time and use a meat thermometer to check doneness.

How do I know when wahoo is done?

The fish should be barely opaque throughout and flake easily with a fork while staying moist. Your fish has cooked too long if you see dry, crumbly flakes.

What's the quickest way to prepare wahoo?

A hot pan works best. Heat your skillet until it's almost smoking, add some oil, and cook each side for 3-4 minutes. This method works great for busy weeknight meals.
