How do you prevent fish from curling while it’s being broiled?
  1. Insert a bamboo skewer through the center of the fish
  2. Score the skin
  3. Blanche fish first, then finish under broiler
Explanation
Answer: B - Scoring the skin helps ensure the fish will not curl as it’s being broiled.

Scoring the skin also allows more seasoning to penetrate the flesh below and encourages fat to render. Skewering is reserved for shellfish such as shrimp or lobster.
