“Carryover cooking can’t always be used to the cook’s advantage. For example, seared tuna needs to stay in the pan long enough to develop a good crust, but by the time that happens the interior is already rare (that is, perfectly cooked). You can’t pull the tuna out of the pan any earlier, so our advice is to slice the fish as soon as it comes out of the pan. Unlike meat and poultry, which must rest before slicing, fish can be sliced immediately with no ill effects. Either way, fish won’t lose juices like meat or poultry. So all you’re doing by slicing immediately is speeding up the cooling process and thus preventing carryover cooking from having much of an effect.”
