Step 3: After one side of fish turn yellow, change to another side. In my cooking experiences, you should fry twice to keep its crispy longer. After first frying, put on plate added paper napkin to absorb wasted oil; wait for 15 minutes and bring to fry again with new oil until its skin turns brown yellow.
