To maintain the crispiness of the fish after frying, place the cooked fillets on a wire rack rather than on paper towels. This allows air to circulate around them, preventing sogginess. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a preheated oven (about 200°F or 93°C) for a short time until you’re ready to serve.
