Using a food thermometer can help you ensure that your seafood is cooked just right. For the best reading, insert the thermometer in the thickest part of the fillet. Remember, the size and thickness of the fish, as well as the cooking method, can affect the final cooking time.

The best food thermometer will not prevent foodborne illnesses, though. For that, you must properly handle, store, and cook the seafood. While also following appropriate food-handling guidelines.
