Clean and prepare the fish by washing the whole fish or fish cut in clean cold water.
Prepare some seasoned flour and dip the fish on both sides in the flour and shake well to remove excess flour.
Preparing the Pan

The fish is cooked on the presentation side first to maintain the presentation qualities of the piece of fish. Turn using a fish slice or preferably a long, wide bladed palette knife.
Most of the rules regarding cleaning of equipment and safety aspects of deep frying apply to Sauté.
