Inch Fish

A lot of fish recipes tell you to judge the cooking time of your fish by inches--say, 5 to 10 minutes per inch. So what are you supposed to do, take out your ruler and get it covered with slime? Perfect Fish is a handy tool that measures the thickness of your fillets and can help determine cooking times using a standard 5 minutes per inch guideline. It won’t mind the slime.
