• Heat up the oil in a frying pan set over a medium heat, and fry each fillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side (skin down first), or until golden.
• Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to soak up the excess oil.
• Serve hot with lemon juice drizzled over the fillets.

• Add the fish fillets and cook until the undersides are crisp and golden brown, abouit 2 minutes. Turn and cook until the other sides are crisp, about 2 more minutes.
