    Then do as Raza says. Don't skimp on the oil. If your cast iron pan is properly seasoned you should be able to use it, but if you've got a non-stick that can take the heat without warping use it. You want the fish almost cooked before turning. The flesh side needs only a minute right at the end. To keep it even moister I spoon the hot oil over the flesh as soon as I drop it.

    As the skin crisps it shrinks a bit. If you don't have slits it is liable to wrinkle slightly to relieve pressure and thena good portion of the skin will not rest flat on the pan.

    Those look great.

    I found these golfing recently. Hit a ball into the trees and came out with a prize.

    I believe more effort went into this than the end result made use of, but it was interesting nonetheless. Made enchiladas but with zucchini through the mandolin. The effort was in making the enchilada sauce, which I went make without brown butter. And so I made brown butter. Then a scratch sauce. Really these were fairly traditional, the meat is Turkey mince not beef and then of course the zucchini, but otherwise it's not too far from the beaten path. Unless this kind of thing has to be orthodox in your book in which case I'm probably in the wrong for even using the word enchilada when describing this abomination.

    I only got this in progress shot but it wasn't much to look at out of the oven or on the plate. Flavours were great and my main concern was that it would be too wet when finished due to the zucchini, but it wasn't and had a more than acceptable consistency. Would try again. If I had brown butter already made.

    Curried cauliflower soup is just an immersion away as well. A fall staple for me, just thinking about it perks my tastebuds. I think I've posted mine before but would give you the notes if interested.
