deep fryer...
We usually cook crappie in a fryin' pan but last week we used a Presto Cool Daddy deep fryer that we seldom use. They turned out great.

R&V Works Cajun fryer is the only way to go. I have the 8.5 gallon model and it will cook a ton in a hurry. Most fryers heat from the bottom up letting any crud that falls off to the bottom burn and that what makes your grease go bad. These heat from the middle up letting the stuff fall to the bottom which is a lot cooler temp not burning the sediments on the bottom. It also has two drains on it, one on each side with one being a little higher. Drian the higher one first and that drains out all good oil. Then drain the other one and it drains out all of the crud. Pretty neat and well designed. The only fryer you will ever buy plus they have a lifetime warrenty.

I like the way you cook djcoop52. I cook over a poor mans kamado smoker/grill with lump charcoal. I have a huge cast iron skillet that I pour about an inch deep with oil. That thing will get to whatever temp you want, but I try to keep the oil around 325 or so. When I put the filets in they are pretty much totally covered in oil.

Use all kinds of electric fryers but mostly the fry daddy and fry baby, can do hush puppies and fish at the same time when using both.

I have the RV works 4 gal. I use a fuel can I VP Racing Square Jerry Can - Street Motorcycle - Motorcycle Superstore bought new and labeled to make sure my stupid son in law doesn't pour it into one of my toys. Be sure to let the oil cool before pouring it in.
I think the mistake a lot of us make is thinking the state-appointed shrink is our friend.

I have tried just about everything. I sure like those Cajun cookers but when I am cooking for a lot of people a thermostat sure would be nice. So, I found a 2 basket restaurant gas cooker that I converted to propane. It is absolutely wonderful.

when cooking just for the wife and i, i use a stainless steel skillet on the stove top. i did use a cast iron skillet for 30+ years but we bought an induction stove top which warns against cast iron cook wear. so now we have all these cast iron pots we never use.
for more than two folks i use a propane cooker in the shop, and one of several 1/4" stainless steel pots i had made just for large fish frys. it's all good!
