AIBU to be worried about undercooked fish?

A family member just cooked two types of frozen battered fish fillets. I heard him setting an Alexa timer for 15 minutes and he cooked the fillets on 200c, but both types of frozen fish instructions are 20 minutes at 200c. I didn't really think about the timing at the time.

Mine was left in a little longer than everyone else's but even then when I checked it looked almost transparent so I put it back in the oven.

I can't tell whether this is fine or whether anyone will get sick?

I’ve never heard of anyone getting food poisoning from bog-standard battered fish. I’d have thought if it’s not cooked long enough it just won’t taste very good but would be surprised if it made anyone unwell.

Unlikely to be an issue. Fish can cause food poisoning if it has gone off and you eat it, but not undercooked or even uncooked (sushi, smoked salmon), so you'll be fine as straight from frozen it won't be off.

I wouldn't worry in the slightest. Most fish is flash frozen at sea in processing ships. It doesn't have time to decay like fresh fish does.
The fish remains frozen while it is manufactured into battered or crumbed products. This video is interesting.
