4. Dip each piece of fish into the batter (do not shake off the parsley). Using a fork, transfer the fish pieces onto a hot skillet with heated oil. Turn them carefully: hold a wide knife in your right hand and a fork in your left. Use oil as you would for deep frying. Place the cooked fish onto a paper towel.
