cooking oil

[jdbigeye]

What is the best type of oil to use for deep frying fish in large amounts? I have a fish/turkey fryer and heard that the oil you choose is important. Any suggestions?

Peanut and canola are the two I've had best luck with.

Good luck!

I'd go with the peanut oil also..

Thanks for the help guys. I had heard to use peanut oil, but wasn't sure. I'll try 'er out.

You could search for some older threads on this, too. The reason a lot of people go with peanut oil is the high smoke/flash point. Regular veggie oil will smoke and eventually catch fire at lower temperatures.

Peanut oil hands down.
