Ingredients
  

  • whitefish fillets, skin on or skin off is up to you
  • all purpose flour, you need about 1/2 cup per 4 fillets
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • cooking oil, as needed
  • tartar sauce, as needed, for serving, OR make from a shortcut

Instructions
 

  • Season the flour with salt and pepper and you like, coat the fish fillets in flour, shake off the excess flour.
  • Using a non stick pan, heat a splash of cooking oil and heat to hot but not smoking, place the fillets in the pan skin side down and cook for 3-4 until browned on the bottom and edges, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes or so, just until the flesh is cooked through and not translucent, and flakes with a fork. The thickness of the fillets will determine how long you cook these.
  • Serve. Fries on the side would be great, a green vegetable like asparagus or broccoli would be nice as well. If cooking for a fish fry, some potato salad would be a good choice. If tartar sauce is desired, there is a shortcut on the site for that.

Notes

Overall, this is a low cost meal, whether for 2 people or 10. This is not what would be called Fish and Chips, you need batter cooked fillets for that.
Shortcut: Tartar Sauce.
