Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: Last night I cooked some boneless , skinless tilapia fish for my family . The first thing I had to do was thaw my fish in a bowl of cool water . I allowed the fish to soak in the cool water for about thirty minutes , and that gave them the proper time to cool . I took about one cup of grated parmesan cheese , and one cup of corn meal and some seasoning salt and mixed them together in a large bowl . Then I put my fish filets in another bowl and coated them with mayonnaise . While my fish were in the mayonnaise , I took a very large frying pan filled half way with canola oil . As the oil was heating I dipped my mayonnaise coated fish fillets in the cheese corn meal mixture until they were thoroughly covered . The oil heated quickly and I sprinkled a tiny bit of corn meal in the pan to see if it would sizzle . I placed 5 fillets in the large pan , and they began to quickly sizzle . After about seven minutes , the fillets were brown on one side , and I flipped them to continue cooking on the other side . After another several minutes , the fish were crispy and brown on both sides . I checked to see if the fish were flaky and done . They were ! Question: What did they pat dry with a paper towel? Option1: the fish Option2: corn meal
Output (English): the fish
