• Season your fish with salt, pepper, garlic and lemon juice (to taste) and fry it in a lightly oiled frying pan (use the coconut/olive oil and a spray of spray and cook)

• Fry on each side for about 3 -4 minutes (depending on thickness and type of fish), it must be cooked through and flake easily.
