A Word About Spices
Before you start adding all the fiery spices you can find to your next fish fillet, it is time to have a quick chat about spices that have been hanging out in your cabinet or on your spice rack. According to Bon Appetit, spices do go bad after a certain amount of time contrary to popular belief. They recommend throwing away ground spices after three months, and whole spices after 10 months. Label each jar with the date of purchase and get rid of your ground spices after about a year.
Mixing Your Spices
Many chefs adhere to a strict regime of mixing spices up to an hour before using them on fish. This allows your spices to meld together. Be sure you realize that some spices like paprika and chili flakes tend to be very strong and may overwhelm your mix. Try to balance your spice mixes through trial and error. Blend more moderate spices like cumin and turmeric alongside stronger spices.
