3. Sprinkle each side with 2 Tablespoons of flour, and pat it in.

It should take 5 to 7 minutes to heat up to somewhere between 350 to 375F. - - If you, like I, can't be arsed with thermometers, I throw in a pinch of flour and if it starts gently sizzling right away, I know it's ready.
5. Holding the whole fish tightly by where the body meets the tail, gently lower it into the oil, head side to tail side. Cover with a splatter screen and fry for 6 to 7 minutes per side. - - At around the 4 minute mark, lift the tail side up carefully with tongs to see how the underside is browning. If it already looks pretty golden brown, you may wish to turn the heat down just a tad.
6. After 6 to 7 minutes, VERY carefully, with a tight grip on your tongs around where the tail meets the body, lift the fish and slowly flip the fish over, again gently lowering the uncooked side down into the oil, head first, then gently lowering toward the tail. - - Cover again with splatter screen and let it fry for 6 to 7 minutes. - - If you're going to fry another fish, you might wish to put another 1/8-inch or so of oil in the pan and let it come back up to frying temp before frying again.
