What makes over cooked fish rubbery?

Over cooking fish doesn't always cause it to turn out rubbery. Most fresh fish if over-cooked just gets over done, not rubbery. Fish from the major grocercy stores will curl-up and turn to rubber even before it's done. I have seen a nice expensive piece of cod and perch do this while the inside side of the filet was still raw. I have only seen such a feat in the last ten years or so, been eating fish for over sixty years. My only thought is that some where along the chain of being caught and ending up in the fry pan it is being treated somehow or with something.

If I ever find out what I will post my findings. I am on the quest.

How long can cooked fish be left out in a container?

I would not recommend cooking and consuming fish that have been left out overnight. Whether or not it can be cooked safe would depend upon variables that could include the type of fish, the packaging (if any), previous handling, the actual ambient temperature, the temp/time exposure of the fish itself, etc.There are certain types of seafood (tuna, mahi mahi, bluefish, sardines, mackerel, amberjack, abalone, etc.) that can form histamines if left at temperatures over 70 degrees Fahrenheit for longer than 4 hours. The histamines cannot be cooked out, can cause illness, and cannot be detected without chemical analysis.=========================================A Different OpinionIf it was not previously refrigerated, probably. Fresh fish should, however, be cooked promptly.
