Cooking a whole fish in foil will take much longer, perhaps around 40 - 50 minutes. Calculate 15 minutes per half kilo of fish plus an additional 15 minutes.enerally, calculate 10 minutes baking time per 1 inch (2.5 cm), measured at the thickest part of the fish. Thin fillets usually take 15 minutes, whilst small steaks approximately 10 - 15 minutes.
When cooking fish, care must be taken not to overcook the fillet, steak, or whole fish, which results in dry and somewhat tasteless meat. A general rule is to cook a fish 10 minutes for each inch of thickness. The 10 minute rule should not be used for deep-frying or microwaving fish. Place the whole fish or pieces in an oiled baking pan. 2  If baking oily fish, it should be placed on an oiled rack so it is not setting in the juices as it bakes. 3  Baste the fish with a mixture of 1/2 cup of melted butter and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. 4  Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
