Tips:
- Use a neutral-flavored oil, such as canola or vegetable oil, for frying the fish. This will help to prevent the oil from overpowering the flavor of the fish.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature before adding the fish. The ideal temperature for frying fish is between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is too hot, the fish will cook too quickly and may burn. If the oil is too cool, the fish will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the fish. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fish will not cook evenly.
- Cook the fish until it is golden brown and flaky. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish.
- Serve the fish immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, lemon juice, or malt vinegar.
