    Rinse the fish fillets and season them with salt and pepper.

    Slice the potatoes VERY thinly. I use a mandoline slicer. Dip the fish in the beaten egg.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Arrange the potato rounds on one side of each fillet, overlapping them like fish scales.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Very carefully lay the fish "scale"-side down in a hot, oiled skillet. If any of the "scales" slip out of place, just nudge them back with a wooden spatula.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Once the first side is golden, take a large spatula and gently flip the fish. Fry until golden and crisp. Done!
