- Place the flour or breadcrumbs on a plate.
- Press both sides of the fish into the coating. Then shake gently to remove the loose coating.
- On medium heat, warm up a heavy frying pan, preferably a cast iron pan until hot. Add the oil, swirl the pan to spread the oil.
- Then add the fish to the pan. Do not move the fish for a few minutes.
