Fish should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 F. But if you don't have a food thermometer, you can determine whether fish is properly cooked by slipping the point of a sharp knife into the flesh and pulling it aside. The flesh should be opaque and separate easily, as in this photograph of poached cod.
