Cooking the Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Clean and scale the whole fish, then pat it dry with paper towels. Season inside and out with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Dredge the fish in all-purpose flour, ensuring an even coat on both sides.

  3. 3

    In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the coated fish in the hot oil and fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
