Steaming Seafood

I would like to write a little knowledge about steaming seafood,because its very important while cooking.Less or more time can cause the taste and sweet of seafood feel different.
As a general guide,depending on size,cooking times are :
Whole fish : 10 - 15 minutes per lb (500 g)
Fish fillets : 5 - 8 minutes
Fish cutlets : 8 - 12 minutes
Mussels : 3 - 6 minutes
Prawns : 3 - 6 minutes
Scallops : 2 - 3 minutes
Australian Balmain bugs : 8 - 12 minutes
Lobster : 10 - 15 minutes
You can always cook it for a little longer if necessary.For added flavor,marinade before steaming ,then reduce marinade and serve as a sauce.
To test if it's cooked,insert a fork into the thickest part of fish.If the flesh is opaque throughout and flakes easily,it's done.
