How does this work? Does the onion act as your indicator if oil temp is too high?

I'm guessing it acts as a heat sink ... not sure. It will turn black and the oil won't burn...unless you just totally overheat it.

In what bizzaro world do you think some South Louisiana baw or coon arse is going to batter and deep fry their fish in olive oil?


Martini - No coonass will but some New York people apparently do.

Poison ?

My parents ,whom are still alive at 79, and are registered coonasses, have fried all their foods in shortening or lard all of their lives. They don't even have a bottle of olive oil in their house. They sure as hell wouldn't fry fish in it nor would I. I stand by what I posted. I only fry fish in shortening or lard if I can get it and it taste much better and i'm not fat and i'm healthy at 54.

No. Martini's just retarded. In addition to being fat.

Some non-sequiturs here, but OK.

Not sure why everyone is focusing on my olive oil comment though, since I mentioned other types of good fats.


Because it was such a stupid comment regarding frying fish.

I grew up in N. Louisiana where there was lots of frying fish. Big fish fries several times a year. We fried the catfish, the bream, and the best one, the sac au lait or white perch. They mostly got fried in peanut oil or crisco. I can't even begin to imagine how they would turn out in olive oil or coconut oil. YUCK!!!

It wasn't in the context of frying fish. Conversations evolve, notwithstanding thread titles. I was listing the non-PUFA fats. Obviously within that grouping, some will have more versatile uses than others.
