How Long Do You Cook Fish In Hot Oil?
The length of time you cook fish in hot oil varies depending on the thickness and type of fish. Generally, fish should be cooked for 2-3 minutes on each side in hot oil, or until it is golden brown and crispy. Thicker fillets may require more time to cook through, while delicate, flaky fish may only need a minute or two on each side. Be sure to use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the fish reaches 145°F (63°C) before serving.
