I got this one a few months back. May be overkill for what you are looking for but it is a frying beast. So is the one Otis posted
I just bought the 17 gal R&V. Waiting for it to come in. I hope it works like they say it does

If I were to get one, I would look into a commercial countertop fryer.
Something like this:
10 lb. Electric Countertop Fryer - 120V
$119
Thats what I use. Gallon and a half max oil capacity. Works awesome. I always set it up on a table outside.

A simple wok makes for a great frying vessel ($30) and with your previous Asian posts here, I would guess that you already own one. I'm sure you have a thermometer to check the oil temp too so you're all set. A wok is all I've ever used to deep fry with at home.
Your thread on homemade pho here was one of my favorites btw.
For instance, you just can't fry a whole fish either of these...
...and a whole fried fish is a wonderful thing.

I've had a warning pro for a while now. It has been excellent. 1 gallon of oil. It can cook a good bit of food.

I used to have one of those rival electric woks, never thought of using that. Would be cheaper and more versatile than an electric fryer.

I need to try that again, it was a lot of fun.

My Uncle has this 14" x 30" x 4" deep rectangular cast iron pan that he uses to fry stuff. He also uses it for fajitas and a flat tip grill for steaks and eggs. I'm going to get me one soon. A gallon of oil fills it about half way which is perfect.

2 fish fryers with stands

Ebay has this one for 54.59

Yep. Gave it away. Never used it. I just use the cast iron.

Ain't gonna lie. That head creeps me out.

Go ahead and order one of these too.

I fry beniets for my girls more Sundays than I don't, and we have a great system worked out. Nothing special about the fryer, but after the oil has time to cool, about the top 80% of the oil gets poured through one of these back into the "used" oil container. Then the next week we put that back in with just a little bit more fresh oil to top it up to the line. Everything is clean and back up in the pantry. Point being, with a system of oil containers and cleanup, you will be much more willing to fry something up, and not think of it as a pain to get everything together and waste a bunch of oil.

Are you squeamish around head-on crawfish and shrimp as well?

I have the strainer in your picture and another one which has a fine wire strainer in the middle. I like the latter one best. Use them all the time to strain the oil into gallon oil containers until I use it again. I just save the big peanut oil plastic containers. They work great. I keep oil used for fish or seafood in a separate container.

I have three propane 'fish cookers' ~ One homemade. ~ Two jet burners and various sizes of cat iron pots etc.

Not crawfish and I don't eat shrimp that often especially not head on.

Wolfgang Puck Bistro Flash Fryer
This one works really well and drains/stores the oil in an inside container. It was about $100 online. We've had many flash fryers over the years but this one was the best one we've purchased for the money.
