How To Keep Your Fish From Sticking On The Pan

Frying fish is not as easy as it seems. It looks easy, but sometimes the fish you fry is just stuck on the pan and then destroyed into pieces when you try to pick it up. But you can try put a teaspoon of salt into the oil in the pan, and leave it for a couple of minutes before you heat and use it to fry fish.
