You know when it’s ready because you just take a little bit of the flour mixture and just drop that in and if it sizzles straight away that means its ready.Fry for 3 – 4 minutes then flip the fish over and fry again until cooked through – another few minutes. Once it’s ready take it off the heat and pop it onto a bed of watercress.
