- Pour approximately 2 inches of vegetable oil into a large skillet and set the skillet on the stove on medium high heat.
- Cover each piece of fish with the flour and shake well to remove excess.
- Make sure the oil is hot. The fish should sizzle when touches the oil.
- Gently set coated fish in your skillet and fry it for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Fish cooks quickly, so keep a close eye on it. The fish is done when it's opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Tips for pan frying fish:
Choose the Right Pan: A heavy-bottomed pan, like a cast-iron skillet, is ideal for frying fish. It retains heat well and provides even cooking.
Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Fry the fish in batches if necessary. Overcrowding can lower the temperature of the oil, leading to uneven cooking and a less crispy finish.
Turn Only Once: To achieve a nice, crispy crust, let the fish cook undisturbed until it's time to flip. Ideally, you should only flip the fish once during cooking.
Use the Right Tools: Use a long spatula to flip the fish. It's also a good idea to have a splatter screen to protect yourself from hot oil.
