What kind of oil do y'all prefer to use when cookin the crappie ?
Peanut
I use Peanut Oil when frying "anything".
We use Peanut Oil to fry fish & french fries & hushpuppies at our Spring & Fall get together events.

Is there really a difference?? Tried a bunch and they all work.
True that they all "work" to fry the fish ... the difference being how high the temp can be maintained before burning the oil. That and the nutritional value differences (which can be seen here : http://www.fitfrying.com/select-the-right-oil.html )Quote:

Peanut

Pepper
Peanut for sure. Lou ann leaves nice clean taste.
Peanut and I strain it before reuse.
Lard
Canola as peanut too heavy for my taste and Canola is cheaper to boot!
Canola work for me!
Peanut oil for all frying
Canola, wife is allergic to peanuts... uhhh
Peanut
After years of using canola oil and generic vegetable oil, I finally switched to peanut oil a month ago and love it. It costs a bunch on the front end, but I'm still using the first batch of peanut oil, and with a little straining and proper storage, it's just as good as when it was fresh. The wife hates fried fish (she had to have a flaw somewhere), and won't eat chicken or french fries cooked in oil that had been used for fish, but with peanut oil, she can't tell that it was used for fish.
I have switched from Peanut to Riceland rice bran oil. I really like it, you dont have to worry about food allergy issues it has a higher smoke point than peanut oil. Its actually pretty healthy for you.
Its cheaper as well.
If it comes to frying, you got to use peanut oil because it won't transfer any tastes from prior uses, can be used for lots of different foods, and holds the temp well without burning. Can be reused over and over if strained with micro-mesh strainer prior to each use. Besides, it's more healthy than the other oils.
good old lard............ never heard of anyone dying from using it, and cheaper than all the other stuff...........
Peanut oil for me
I've been using refined sunflower oil, because I found some cheap. But after reading this thread I'm going to try peanut oil!
Peanut oil is preferred, but vegetable oil is less expensive!
If your not real health conscious. Buttery Crisco is the bomb.
Crisco Oil. I used to use Soy Oil, but it got too expensive.
Peanut oil or sunflower seed oil
Peanut oil for the high cooking temp and can reuse a couple of times.
