D) Here is a recipe for fish fry:

Ingredients:

1 pound white fish fillets, such as cod, halibut, or tilapia
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth.
Dip each fish fillet in the flour mixture, then in the cornstarch mixture.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the fish fillets in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the fish fillets to a baking dish and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Here are some tips for making fish fry:

Use fresh fish fillets. Frozen fish fillets can be used, but they will not be as crispy.
Make sure the fish fillets are dry before dredging them in the flour mixture. This will help the cornstarch mixture adhere to the fish better.
Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the fish fillets. This will lower the temperature of the oil and the fish will not cook evenly.
Be careful not to overcook the fish fillets. They should be cooked through, but still moist.
Serve the fish fry immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
