Fish and Seafood 1 The steaming times listed in the chart are for fresh or fully thawed seafood and fish. Before steaming, clean and prepare fresh seafood and fish. Frozen food may effect steam timing. 2 Most fish and seafood cook very quickly. Steam in small portions or in amounts as specified. 3 Clams, oysters and mussels may open at different times. Check the shells to avoid overcooking. 4 Serve steamed seafood and fish plain or use seasoned butter or margarine, lemon or favorite sauces. 5 Adjust steaming times accordingly.
