   Gather the ingredients from the list, then follow along to see how to fry tilapia — a very tasty, inexpensive, and healthy fish.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut each fillet in half lengthwise.

3. Step 3:

   

   Transfer the pieces of fish to a plate.

   Rub each piece well with salt and pepper on both sides. You can let the fish sit a while to soak up the seasoning, or cook it right away to save time.

5. Step 5:

   

   Put flour in a clean, dry dish — I always sift it first.

   Dredge each piece of fish generously in flour on both sides.

7. Step 7:

   

   Do the same with all the pieces.

8. Step 8:

   

   Set a clean, dry skillet over high heat and warm it for half a minute. Pour in the vegetable oil, heat it a bit more, then turn the heat down to medium. Add the fish to the hot oil and fry on one side until golden, about 2–3 minutes.

9. Step 9:

   

   Then flip it and fry for the same amount of time, until cooked through. Fry all the fish this way. Serve with any side dish, and don't forget a tasty salad. Enjoy!
