When frying fish, it’s common to encounter issues with the pan sticking, especially when frying fish with the skin on. To reduce oil splatter while frying fish, some people use tricks like sprinkling salt or flour, or waiting for the oil to get very hot, or even deep-frying the fish.
However, these methods can still result in the fish sticking to the pan, especially if the pan is well-used. Flipping the fish becomes a tricky task and it easily breaks apart…

First, get yourself a roll of baking paper. When you’re ready to fry the fish, cut a piece of the paper to line the bottom of your pan. Then, add some oil and fry the fish as usual, but this time, there won’t be any sticking, and flipping the fish is a breeze.
With this trick, you only need a small amount of oil to prevent the paper from burning, which also reduces the overall oiliness of the dish. Not only is this useful for frying fish, but you can also apply this secret to other fried or stir-fried dishes.
