Fish Fry
Description
1. Clean the fish of scales, gut it, and pat dry with a paper towel. 2. Mix the flour with pepper and salt and spread the mixture on a flat plate. Place the fish on the flour mixture on one side, press lightly, then turn it over. Make sure both the belly and the back of the fish are coated with flour as well. Shake off excess flour. 3. In a deep fryer, pot, or small saucepan, heat the oil; lower the fish into it in small batches and fry until a golden crust forms. 4. With a slotted spoon, or using a basket if you are using a deep fryer, remove the fish from the fryer and place it on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess fat. 5. Arrange the cooked fish on a plate, place a few lemon wedges and herbs alongside. May be served warm or chilled.
