Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the temperature is correct for frying.

Fry the Fish
Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
