Instructions
- Rinse fish and drain well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat about 2 inch deep of oil.

- Cover, lower heat, and continue to cook for about 4 to 6 minutes or until fish.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
- You can add tofu cubes to extend the dish deliciously. Use firm tofu, not silken.
- Drain the tofu well. Wrap with a thick layer of paper towels and weigh down with a plate for about 15 to 20 minutes to absorb the excess liquid.
- Cut the tofu block into three pieces. Deep-fry until golden and crispy. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Cut into cubes.
- Add tofu and gently toss to combine. Cook just until heated through.
