Culinary guidance focuses on the selection and preparation of various proteins to optimize flavor and texture. In Brazil, specific advice distinguishes between different types of fish, noting that fat-rich scaled varieties like tambaqui are suited for roasting or grilling, while delicate fish like pescada require careful heat management. Skin-on varieties such as filhote or surubim are noted for having firmer fibers that withstand sauces and moderate cooking times.

Technical advice also covers poultry, where leaner cuts like chicken breast are recommended for quick preparations, whereas fattier cuts like thighs offer more juiciness. Additionally, experts warn against frying fish directly from the refrigerator, as the resulting thermal shock can prevent a protective crust from forming, leading to greasy results.
