canadadude Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 clarified butter is great, by clarifying the butter you can bring it to a higher tempeature without burning
Roe Bag Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 I sometimes cook fish in bacon grease... yummy! My mother in law used to save all of her bacon grease. She would strain it while it was still warm. Then keep it in the fridge in a big tomato juice can. It was strictly for frying fish. Yum yum!! Bless her soul. It was the best fish I ever tasted.
bigbuck Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 Deep frying, canola oil is best all around. Lard is the tastiest but not healthy and vegetable shortening is the biggest no no of all (think trans fats). Peanut is good but due to allergies you have to be careful who you use it around. Now deep fried in canola oil with some bacon grease..............
Abberz Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Duck fat is the bomb.....Peanut oil is a little more economical, and all I use however.
Beans Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Crisco vegetable oil (soybean oil) and a bit of butter for pan-frying fish... I use peanut oil mainly for my Chinese stir-fries and EVOO for salads...
troutologist Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 I like 2/3 lard and 1/3 butter for the too few shore lunches I have these days. At home its usually canola. Sometimes a panfry in butter is a good change too. The mess kit is packed and ready for this weekend...lard, batter, Bush's beans, spuds, onions, peppers and fruit cups. And no beer!! Introducing a buddies 2 youngsters to the shore lunch tradition...should be a good one.
NANUK Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Cotton seed oil for deep frying. taste good and has a high smoke point.
walleyejack Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 Mobil 1 Synthetic,high temp tolerance,and lasts forever ! Sometimes I load the pan up with butter and shot of olive oil,works pretty good for me.
dhickey Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Heres one for you guys. A chef told me about this GOOSE OIL AWESUM!!! Pick up a goose when they are on sale the meet is good and the oil left in the bottom of the pan is one of the heathest natural oils you can cook with. sliced potatos are out of this world. pan fry fish with 2 table spoons of goose oil and what ever spices you like YUMM.. Forgot to mention that you can keep the oil in the fridge untill you use it up WITCH WONT BE LONG. Edited May 19, 2011 by saltydawg
Sinker Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 My deep fryer is always loaded with lard, mind ya I don't use it often. Pan fried, well it's hard to beat salt pork for fish but again, I only do so on occasion. Same here. As long as your not eating fish every day, that is fine for your health IMO. Just don't be frying your food every day. My mother in law used to save all of her bacon grease. She would strain it while it was still warm. Then keep it in the fridge in a big tomato juice can. It was strictly for frying fish. Yum yum!! Bless her soul. It was the best fish I ever tasted. I do this too. I ALWAYS have some bacon grease on hand. S.
