Reply With QuoteVegetable oil isn't good for you, I really like to use Coconut Oil, you can heat it until it gets to 350F and then place the fillets in the Oil, I dip the fish in Rice flour, just wet fillets , they are excellent that way.

Lard crisps and browns better so you can use it a slightly lower temps. If the fryer is large enough you dont drop the temp when the fish goes in, 350 gives a crisp golden fry without going oily or soggy. That fillet is never getting above 212 anyway. As for flavor, lard is clean, but I am not above tossing a slice of bacon in with the fish.

Recently I was hospitalized with a blood clot in my leg. The end result is that I am on coumadin for a long period of time.
That puts me in the position of having to avoid vitamin K as it counteracts the coumadin. Besides dark green leafy vegetables, there are several oils high in vitamin K. They are soybean, canola, and olive. This makes me want to try lard for frying. I am beginning to think that lard might not be nearly as bad for you as everyone thinks it is. After all look at eggs, twenty years ago it was thought that eating eggs were very bad for you. Now they are supposed to be very good for you. I seem to think the same argument might be applied to lard.

This is true. Has a higher scorching temperature and also one of the very few oils that does not transfer taste to your food so you can appreciate the seasonings in the meal and fish moe betta!Originally Posted by Abu65

Not a bad hypothesis either. I am a ER nurse and will say.....9/10 times natural is better than processed. Cuts down on cancer risk.

Lard and coconut oil 50/50
Get it hot till it lights a stick match
Otherwise straight coconut oil to avoid the peanut oil after taste.
I use lard for cooking my fish. Keep it at 350. I make my own lard and keep it frozen so it lasts longer. All natural is good.

Lard has NEVER been bad for anyone,its a long standing big pharm scam people bought into the last 30yrs
Im an ex heart patient and all my cardio crew over the years have never pressed me into following big pharm scam media,because "they know".
I dont eat fast food so maybe thats the difference in actually eating better ????
