***************************************************************************************************************
Be sure to heat the oil to the proper temperature, and maintain the heat. Otherwise, the fish will absorb unnecessary fat and calories as it cooks. If you can't find fresh, never-frozen fish, substitute another firm white-fleshed fish, such as turbot or striped bass.
