FRYING WALLEYES

[fishlessam]

Just curious as to what type of cooking oil everyone uses to fry perch or walleye fillets in?

 

[Derkd9]

Canola

canola, vegetable oil, sun flour oil, peanut oil(the best but $$$$$)

I’ve heard you can blend some peanut oil in with canola to increase the smoke point and add some flavour. On my list to try when I get a round tooit

Olive here. Live longer to catch and eat more walleye.

I only want to live long enough to reel up my last fish. Then it’s adios MFers!

Olive oil breaks down at high temps and burns. Not a good choice for batter fried, but works well for low temp cooking. best oil for hi temps frying, such as battered, is peanut oil doesn't break down and can be reused many times. Just pour it through a paper towel in a filter to keep the crumbs out. Canola is a good all types selection, but won't be re usable the same as peanut oil

I currently use vegetable oil but will try the peanut oil next time, did some today in vegetable oil

If you like English style batter, Cash and Carry in Brantford has this Krusto premix. I just add water to about tempura consistency and it turns out mint. No slimy crap under the crisp exterior and does not mop up the grease if your oil is the right temp. Give it a try.

I use peanut oil for my fish and my fries. Available at most grocers but costly compared to canola or vegetable oil

50/50 canola/veg

Egg whites only. Interesting. Doesn’t load it up with the egg taste, I suppose, eh?

I think also when the yolk is in there it isn’t as sticky the the breading doesn’t stick as good

Just finished with my favourite style. Dust of flour, butter, salt, pepper in a hot pan with fresh fillets. Could only be better on a fire right beside the lake….
