 included in B and slightly cover with flour and fry as
 follows:

 Put oil and garlic into a frying pan.  Brown garlic
 over moderate heat. Remove garlic and place in the pan

 heat on both sides, reduce heat to low and cook for 15
 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with
 fork  Fry remaining fish the same way.

 let it stand for 5 minutes.
