Can I simply pan fry skinless cod fillets?

[Dave7]

So there you go, OP, sorted. And all you wanted to do was fry a bit of fish

Indeed.
I realise steaming boiling baking etc may be "better/ but I just fancied trying to fry it.
Anyway......did it....it really was good. Lovely (unhealthy) white bread and butter for the butties.
And the mandatory glass of wine

Thanks to all for the advice. Took bits from various ones and thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Extra virgin olive oil has a smoke point of only 320 degrees Fahrenheit, making it unsuitable for deep frying. Light olive oil, with a smoke point of 460 degrees Fahrenheit, can be used to deep fry, but deep frying with olive oil does not make food healthier than frying with other kinds of polyunsaturated oils.

high heat, olive oil, 3-5 minutes each side.

Hmm, now I have a hankering for blackened cod.

(while agreeing with previous remarks about olive oil)
