Fillet the fish and remove the skin. Then cut the fillets into 1 inch wide pieces.

Step 3

Deep fry until slightly golden. Remove from oil and drain. Than, wait a couple of minutes to raise the temperature a little, then quickly re-fry the fish until golden. Remove from oil and drain. (Tip: re-frying at a higher temperature will make the fried food crispier and less oily.)
