How long do you deep fry fish? Can you re-use the oil?
Obviously I fried mines for too long last night. The inside was fine but the cornmeal was so crispy, it crunched like a thick potato chip! My first experience was better, but I can't remember how long I cooked it.
Can you re-use the oil? Are you supposed to filter it if you do. Best answer 10 points by the end of the hour.
Thanks!

If somebody could break it down in minutes, I'd appreciate it!

You only cook it until it is golden brown. Take it out and let it drain on a paper towel. It will continue to cook even after you take it our for a minute because of the heat. You can reuse the oil for fish. I wouldn't use it for anything else because it would make other foods have that fish taste. I don't filter it but you probably should.
I usually cook for 4-5 minutes depending on the size of the filets.
u cant re-use the oil, but dont let the fish fry 4 2 long ok.

Deep frying is quick. Once the cornmeal gets golden it's done. You might have had the oil too hot. Different food items require different temperatures. If the fish is thick then lower the temperature because the outside will get too hard before the inside is done.You can reuse the oil several times but you should filter it and then refrigerate it until you want to use it again. Once it gets really dark discard it.
deep fry fillets for about 5 - 6 minutes @ 350 degrees. Cook one, test it, and adjust your time accordingly.
You can re-use the oil: strain it and pour it into a container that can be sealed (like a jar). When the oil is dark, throw it out and start with fresh
You can re-use oil about 4 times, until it gets too dark, but it will give things a fishy flavour so keep it for fish only. Strain it and put it in a sealed jar in the fridge. It should keep like that indefinitely.
Yes you can re-use the oil, but just for fish. No filtering is needed. 10 mins is way to long. Leave it in until it's a golden brown(5-8 mins)
