🔑 Key Takeaways
- Reheat fish at 275°F (135°C) for 10–15 minutes for best results.
- Covering with foil keeps moisture in and speeds up heating.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Microwave reheating works but risk uneven heat—use a cover and low power.
- Add a light drizzle of oil or sauce before reheating to prevent drying.
- Frozen fish can be reheated directly in the oven, but thaw first for even cooking.
- Check internal temp with a thermometer—145°F (63°C) is safe.
