Fantasticly fried fish :D YUMMY

So I know I said that the mashed potatoes were next...but I lied...

This fish was sorta spur of the moment type of thing, but ooooooh so tasty!

Alrighty so you can get fresh or frozen fish...I use tilapia, just cause I really like white fish.. (salmon would have a different cooking length...usually a lot longer than white fish)
Now if you have frozen fish, you have to thaw it out. If it is packaged fish, keep it in the package and just set it in the sink and cover with water and let the thawing happen on its own. Otherwise you can just put it in the fridge and let it thaw for an hour or so...it usually doesnt take very long with fish.
Hint: please! PLEASE! Thaw your frozen foods in cool water...This is a slower method of thawing, but it is less likely of your produce/meats/fishes getting spoiled and nasty. Never thaw foods in hot water!

When you fish is thawed get a pan going hot, prolly on med-high heat.
Melt butter (2 Tbs should do it) in the hot pan.

lightly coat your fish in flower and season with salt and pepper...I also like to use lawrey's season salt instead of the salt and pepper sometimes too...

When your butter is just starting to bubble (dont burn your butter!) put your fish in the pan and leave it alone for about 2 min on one side. Dont touch it....dont do it! Hint: not touching the fish prevents it from sticking to the pan.
Then when about 2 min is up, shake your pan a little to make sure your fish isnt stuck to the bottom...with all that butter it should flip nicely.
Get the otherside cooking for another 2 min. and it should be done!

White fish is sorta difficult to tell whether it is done or not, but usually if you poke it and it doesnt give to the poking...it should be good.

And youre done! Thats it!
Serve it with some asparagas or mashed taters and you have yourself a wonderful meal...simple!
