QuestionI heard that olive oil is healthier oil to eat than many others,but I also heard that olive oil is bad for frying fish or other foods.Is it true and if so what kind of oil is the best to fry fish?
Thanks.
AnswerWojtek,
I remember answering this question for you before.
Olive oil is possibly the "healthiest" oil, but it tastes bad if it is heated too much - the high heat breaks it down. Therefore, deep frying with olive oil is not a good idea. Also, frying foods is not the most healthy way to prepare foods, so don't expect to make it good for you - lots of extra calories.
You could try frying your fish in canola oil or vegetable oil. I think the taste of the food will determine what you use. Would you actually eat a food that tastes bad just because it's fried in a healthier oil?
Personally, I eat my fish baked or grilled. Mmmmm.
