Default Reheating Fish Question

You may think I am a fool for asking this, but can you reheat fish in a
microwave?

My plan is to make a fish (flounder or tillapia) and rice bowl for work the
next day. The fish will go from hot, to cold, to cool (as I transport it to
work), to cold as it sits in the fridge again, to the microwave.

Is this OK? Thanks in advance

If it weren't for the rice, I'd just eat the fish cold straight from the
fridge (I LOVE tilapia), but, yes, I've reheated fish in the microwave - it
comes out fine - I think it's better if you heat it in glass or on a
regular plate so that you don't get plastic cooties all over your delicious
meal but even if you nuke it in a plastic container it will be fine.

As far as your temperature concerns go, I've done the same or similar many
a time and am here to tell the the tale!

Yeppers, but you can wrap it in foil as well and reheat in an oven or
toaster oven. It gets less rubbery that way.

My former department had lousy ventilation and a secretary who was very
sensitive to smells. One of the grad students would often heat leftover
fish in the microwave and practically drive poor Vivian off the floor.
These are relatively innocuous fish smellwise, so you should be okay as
long as you remove the bowl asap after heating.

Holy crow, I beg you do not reheat fish in the microwave at work.

I can gag just thinking about it. Have mercy on your co workers.

Not necessarily a fool, simply ignorant... of course one can reheat fish in a
microwave.. but should you, NO. Cold fish is delish, in a sammiche, salad,
with tartar sauce or all by it's lonesome. Reheating previously cooked fish by
any method can only cause its degradation.
