Quick Skillet-Grilled Fish—If Consumed Immediately, this is the Best of the Best.
Cooks' Note
Use any nonoily white fish, such as red-fish, speckled trout, red snapper, rockfish, or perch. After washing the fish, be sure to dry the fillets thoroughly to prevent spatter when they are put into the hot oil.
