You should only put the fish on the frying pan when its surface is hot enough – this point is also important for an appetizing appearance and impressive taste.

Fry the fish for a few minutes on each side, and at the end transfer it to paper towels to absorb excess fat.

The dish is usually served hot, after the fish has been sprinkled with lemon juice.
