Omg i love snapper. Yumm 🙌 

Looks so, so good. 

Keyten, I use a good vegetable oil to fry. EVOO imparts unnecessary flavor and has a much lower smoke point. Just a thought. 

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and mild taste. 

I love snapper. The only way I’ve eaten it is Jamaican style, escovitch fish. My fav!!!! https://www.google.ca/search?q=escovitch+snapper+recipe&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-ca&client=safari 

Keyten, have you ever bought the “light” olive oil? It’s processed in a way that raises the smoke point. I use light for frying and EV for “cold” uses. 

Lol I missed the part were you preferred only olive oils. The app doesn’t show all the recent comments sometimes. Google to make sure you’re getting a brand that sells real olive oil.  

Yum looks delicious John 😋 

thanks everyone. it was at a favorite restaurant of mine, but the first time ordering that. a few of us shared it along with catfish curry and some other good stuff. 

Wow - I was about to ask if dining out. It looks wonderful.  

@keyten have you tried Avocado Oil, it has a high smoking point and a much lighter taste than EVOO. It is as costly as EVOO though. 

That looks wonderful. I love fish cooked like this. 

When you subject EVOO to high heat it breaks its healthy chemistry down and makes it no different than any other oil but at a much higher price.. 

Thanks for the EVOO information Keyten. I will read up on that in the next for days. Yep, science changing all the time. 

I know you can do normal sautéing with EVOO, but I thought high temp frying was where the destruction was.
