cooking oil to fry fish
I am defining frying as cooking in enough oil so that half of the piece of fish is under the oil as it cooks. Best choices for this are regular olive oil for Mediterranean recipes, vegetable oil for American dishes, and peanut oil for Asian food.Frying is also where you can use lard or butter.If you are deep-frying, or submerging the fish or seafood in oil, use the same thing as you would in a regular fry.I like canola oil, as it is neutral-tasting and inexpensive.ou could use any vegetable oil, however. This is also a good place for specialty oils. Specialty oils also have a limited place in fish and seafood cooking. The two I use most often are walnut oil and sesame oil.
