Canola oil is quite good.though oil does develope smells, from what is cooked in it.if you stayed only on chips,it lasts quite awhile, if you cook a range of fish,then say chicken, then chips, then a smell becomes certain.hope this is of use.

Its mainly used for cooking chips.have tried canola oil and its fine for a few days then it also starts to get a strong smell yet the chips taste fine its just the strong odour some oils seem to give off, surely there must be a less smelly one!

i use the same stuff that the fish and chip shops use, either chefade or similar, but im lucky I have a gilmours card and can get it from there and the large box lasts me ages :)

I always use Grape Seed oil - great stuff has a very high flash point so can take the heat.odourless too

I have never used chefade. I thought you could only use oil in deep fryers! Has anyone else used chefade! might be an option.

Yuk dont use Chefade its basically melted down cows and it stinks to high heaven after a bit. I have alot of experience with deep fryers and the best oil by a mile is cottonseed. Obviously its going to be the most expensive but it lasts soooooo much longer than the others and you can filter it many times and reuse. It has a high smoke point, as does ricebran.

Had same problem. smell was horrible and made wifey feel sick, so went to chefade.Reckon chips are much nicer and also fish deep fried doesn't seem to have the "filled with oil", saturated taste and flavour. I just make sure everything is dried well before going into the basket.and cook on slightly higher temp than I would with oil.
