HOW TO MAKE FISH

• Scale and clean the tilapia, and cut slanted slits on both sides. Salt the fish and dredge thoroughly in cornstarch including the head and tail. Set aside. 
• Heat the vegetable oil in a wok until it almost reaches the smoking point. Deep-fry the tilapia in the hot oil for about 5 minutes on one side, then turn it over and continue to fry for 3 minutes on the other side. Drain thoroughly and place the fish on paper towel to absorb excess oil.
