When the fries have about 8 minutes remaining, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Fry the coated plaice for 3–4 minutes on the first side, then carefully turn and cook for 2–3 minutes more, until golden and opaque throughout. Cook in batches if needed.
