The story of the frying skillet goes back several months. I went to my grandson's birthday party and fried fish for about 25 people that day. My son-in-law had a fish fryer made from an old disc blade off of an old farm disc. A welder had closed up the hole where the disc blade fits onto the spindle and then ground everything smooth. Man oh man. I have never fried fish in anything like that before. Well, I bragged on it to my son-in-law. He has been working in Pennsylvania for about 4 years now and had bought one up there somewhere that they use at the shop from time to time to cook in. It also, I have been told, makes great stir-fry and fajitas.

When they went back up there, after my grandson's birthday in September, my son-in-law came home one day and told my daughter, Sarah Beth, that he had taken care of my Christmas present and showed her my new fish fryer. It is made from 1/8 inch mild steel, which has been stamped out and run through a press to give it its shape. It is just like a big wok, but is flat enough on the bottom to sit on a fish fryer. It is one of the best fish fryers I have ever used and believe me, I have used a lot of different ones. I can't wait for the opportunity to cook fajitas in it.

The last time I went to my doctor she told me to cut back on my fried foods. I have eaten fish tacos in restaurants before but nothing that good. As a matter of fact a little roadside café in Dodson used to have them on their menu and I ordered them several times. Then they took them off of the menu because very few people ordered them. Not that I am an expert because that was my first time to ever cook any, but home-made is always better. I plan to eat them quite often.

Glad to hear those tacos were a success Pastor.

I had seen a skillet like that before and had actually been following one on ebay for a while, just haven't decided I wanted it bad enough. To be honest though using it to fry fish hadn't crossed my mind.

Brother in law uses a disc fryer to fry just about anything. He loved it. We took it on a hunting trip and he used it to cook breakfast even.

Good job, Pastor! Love those pictures! That cooking disc looks like it would have endless possibilities.

Really nice fish Pastor! Love the pics
