You did no longer say what variety of fish. First answerer is incredibly stable, yet you won't be able to examine her Avatar call. besides, you could pan fry it too in butter and garlic, incredibly whether this is a small fish like a bluegill or pumpkinseed. whether this is a bass or trout you likely opt to bake it. For a walleye you will pan fry after coating such as you will for deep frying. For a catfish you opt to fry. If this is a carp or sucker fish circulate to the shop and get some thing else and prepare dinner that and tell your son it rather is his fish.

bake it in foil, with lemon juice (fresh if possible), herbs and spices of your choice, you can also add 1whole black pepper, if you desire, bake it till it slightly browns on the top and once it is done you can add coriander in the top.
