Choose the correct type of fish. The best fish to fry will be firm, such as cod and tilapia.

Pat the fish dry before adding spices. This removes excess moisture, helping it brown more evenly.

Choose the right pan. A heavy-bottomed skillet, made of stainless steel or cast iron, will distribute heat evenly.
