Crusty Oven-Fried Fish - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups cooking oil or 2 cups olive oil
    1 cup soft stale bread crumb
    1/3 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
    2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
    1/2 cup plain flour
    2 eggs, lightly beaten
    4 white fish fillets
    1 lemon, to serve
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
    Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan and oregano on a large plate, and place flour and egg in separate bowls.
    Dip fish, one piece at a time, into flour; shake off excess. Then dip into egg to coat lightly, and coat well with breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with other pieces of fish.
    Place fish on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for 15 minutes.
    While fish is chilling, place oil in a large roasting pan in oven and heat until a cube of bread turns golden brown in 20 seconds.
    Carefully place fish into hot oil in pan in oven. Cook for approximately 3 minutes, then turn fish carefully. Cook further 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
    Remove pan from oven and transfer fish to paper towel to drain.
    Serve with a salad and lemon wedges.
