How to Fry Fish That Was Frozen
Frying previously frozen fish is no different than frying fresh fish. It needs to be cleaned, battered and seasoned before being placed in hot oil to cook. You may want to deep fry the fish if you are cooking for a crowd, but when you are cooking for one, use a skillet to conserve oil. In general, by the time both sides of your fish have turned a golden brown color it will be done cooking. Fully cooked fish is opaque and flaky.
