Tips:
You don’t need too much oil for frying fish, it’s a little bit more than usual when frying. You can use a medium-low heat to fry until halfway through and cover with a lid to fry, so that the fish will cook quickly and the fumes will not be sprayed indiscriminately. Of course, if you want more oil to fry the cooked fish, it is also better.
