Yes im training to become a chef and worked in some great fish restaurants and everywhere ive worked all pan fry the fish skin side down first. They either coat the fish in flour and place it in an oiled pan and then flip it over after a bit or what i do is melt some butter and using a pastry brush, brush the fish all over, season the fish and then brush it with oil. pan fry for 2-3 minutes skin side down first and then flip it over!
