How do you serve it? Do you slice bread in the bottom of the pan? I am cooking for 50-60 and want to make sure it stays warm and crunchy.

I hope you have a big fryer.

I would drain it on a cooling rack to get the oil off of it as fast as possible.

Double basket propane fryer. . . with access to heat lamps if needed.

Get one like this to cool drain your fish then put them under a heat lamp. Be prepared to fry more as need be.

Having a large fryer(commercial if available) is definitely needed for the fish to be served in a timely manner for your crowd. Use your oven with baking sheets covered with brown paper bags to put the fish on after cooking to absorb the excess oil and keep the fish warm.

Buy 10" x 16" cooling racks (2 per pack) at Walmart. They're pretty cheap and fit nicely in a large, deep aluminum pan. Don't load the pan with too much fish as the ones on the bottom will become soggy. It should fit under a heat lamp if you want to keep warm.

I think 4 racks and pans should do the trick.

What Justsmokin said, pls line the lower pans with absorbent paper towels to soak up the grease. A large fryer is a must.

Cold and crunchy is better than warm and mushy.
Remember that.
Don't put tin foil over the f'ing pan.
