It appears that searing and then finishing in the oven is the trick to a
lot of good cooking. I tried doing steaks that way, both your cooking from
frozen and cooking from thawed, and both were very good. I'll try the fish
technique soon. I have to note, though, that in a video that followed the
first one, the woman presenting just seared the fish on both sides and
plated it without going to the oven first. A little confusing to see two
videos at the same URL presenting seemingly contradictory information.

I'd think the oven step only helps with thicker cuts.

Fish doesn't need to be cooked to death.

Here in the UK, we kill the fish before we cook it.

We used to, but I've not seen fish forks and knives used for decades
(in homes or restaurants). Charity shops are full of them.

That's too bad, they were cute! So were the fish knives.

Lobsters are crustaceans not fish.

I have a beautiful set of them. I use them for more than just fish
though. They are too pretty not to use, especially for desserts.

Soup spoons seem to be a UK thing. I bought some in John Lewis this past
Spring when I was in the UK.

Me too. They're still part of the 5 piece set. I do miss included
butter knives, but I've picked up a few along the way of life that I
use for various purposes (including butter).
