The pan needs to be nice and hot including the oil that will ensure that the fish is nice and crispy which is the way I like it. I season the fillets on both sides thoroughly to make sure everything is covered once that’s done I get some flour and regular flour as well as some Cajun seasoning flour mix once I have the fish season for her for a couple minutes I start to my bread the fish on both sides of each file including the tail I like to mix the flour with the Cajun batter mix as well now once your fishes and is battered I make sure I get some oil fill the pan maybe about half an inch with oil and heat it I wait to the oil is nice and hot before placing the fish in the pan.
