hello all,
I suppose I should introduce myself since this is my first post. I am young lad (22) who's recently begun to develop a fiery passion for the flaming oven. The only problem is that I really don't know anything about cooking! So, that's why I'm here.
Last night I tried to do something new {i.e. not just making frozen pizza! }: I tried to bread and fry fish.
Now, I've seen my mom do this every once in a while, so I didn't think it would prove that difficult. gosh, was I wrong.
I'll leave out the embarrassing parts and just leave it at this:
I couldn't get the fish pieces (flounder) to stay whole, I couldn't get it to hold a normal layer of breading, and the frying... I won't even go there.
regarding the frying, I had an additional question: I'm trying to lose wieght and eat healthier in general. now, when my mom made this type of fish, it was always drenched in oil. I was wondering if there was another way to make this that didn't involve oil, or basically, I'm looking for a healthy way to prepare this dish.
Thank you all in advance for your help.

p.s. is fish healthy? looking at the nutritional information, I see that its loaded with cholesterol (though my roommate thinks it might be "healthy" cholesterol.)~
p.p.s. any recommended spices to apply to this dish?
