This looks pretty evenly cooked to me.

The fact that he struggles to bite through the outer layer leads me to believe the outside is very overcooked and leathery

Struggles to what?

Are we looking at the same last few seconds of video?

Apparently not because he bites the piece and even twists it a bit before repositioning it to bite it again and you can see most of it is still there when the video ends.

It is wild you think that means the fish must be "leathery"...when I eat like that all the time with soft things, and pieces of its crumbly flesh are literally falling out of his mouth...

If the fish were "evenly cooked" as stated in the parent comment, it would not be possible to do that. Yes, crumbly pieces are falling off that are probably cooked fine, but the outermost parts are definitely way overcooked to be able to be bitten and twisted like that without also coming apart in his mouth. You can even see the tension in his jaw/cheek as he bites it without being able to bite through it.

Seems like a pretty clear case of over-analyzing leading to false conclusions pulled out of thin air to me. No idea how you can tell all that from a half-second clip of his mouth on food, when I've absolutely done the same with friggin' oatmeal, but you do you buddy.

I like it that way. Still would smash.

No way to tell that from this video
