I use a cast iron pan and 1/4 deep of canola oil. I mix up one cup of flour, lawrys seasoning salt, and cavendars seasoning to taste in a 1 gallon ziploc bag. I pat the filets on paper towel quickly and place about 8 in the bag. Shake and roll them in the bag for about a minute, then place the bag in the fridge for about 10 to 15 minutes for moisture to soak into the flour mix on the fish. Helps it stay in place when frying.
