- Pat the fish dry and cut 3 small slits on each side of the fish. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 quart oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Carefully place the fish in the pan and fry until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Remove fish and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
