    You really got me thinking about that cajun fryer. Not sure I need it though as I only do a couple big fish frys each year and when I do that I use my 10qt aluminum. Many times I just use a little fry daddy.

    Easy answer is stainless. It's more durable and holds heat better.

    Brenda cooks the fish here. I just eat them. It is a pot on the stove top that smells good.

    All depends on your situation. If your talking cooking up some crappie for just your family then an electric counter top is all u need. If you host a fish fry once a year for 10-15 people the standard beer can aluminum will serve u well. Now if you take your crappie eating as serious as your crappie catching then buy a big arse cast iron pot.
    Seems everyone these days are selling dreams, I'm just to cheap to buy one!

    Cast iron is the way to go. Find a size to suit your situation and enjoy. I have a “standard” fish fryer with a cast iron pot for small family cooking and a Cajun Fryer for the “big stuff.” Both work great. We take the small one camping for convenience.

    Cajun fryer . The heavy steel hold the heat so much better than stainless, aluminum or cast. The single pot is excellent for a small family. I have had the 4 gal for 5 years. Put grease in it and leave for a year. We are a fish eating family and I have cooked in all of it. Cajun fryer is the best hands down.
