there are different ways to test your oil to make sure it is enough before placing your fish into the pot/pan and this may have been where you got off track

to check if the oil is enough

heat the pan until the oil slides around easily in the pan. you also splatter 3 drops of water in the pan -- if the water sizzles and pops

course
