  2. Meanwhile, heat up about 2 cups of oil in a 10 inch pan (or big enough for the size of fish, of course more oil) on medium heat for about 10 or more minutes.
  3. Sprinkle potato starch abundantly on and inside of fish. Shake off excess potato starch. Check oil temperature. Use thermometer or chopstick. Put fish in and fry for 12 to 15 minutes on each side. I had to do this because my pan was little too small for the fish (picture).
