For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the potato flake mixture.
If you don't have potato flakes, you can use panko breadcrumbs for a similar texture.
Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or aioli.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the fish to prevent it from becoming soggy.
Do not overcrowd the pan, cook in batches to maintain the temperature of the oil.
