Step 1
Pat the 1 lb fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Place 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 3
Heat 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Carefully add the fish in a single layer, working in batches if needed.
Step 4
Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. The fish should flake easily with a fork when done.
Step 5
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot with lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce.
