Do you reuse your oil after frying fish?

Depends on how much oil i used and how much fish i fried. Normally when i fry fish it’s a bunch so I just toss the oil. On the rare occasion that i fry a small batch, i strain and save it in a different container (I don’t mix it with fresh oil).

I’ll also use something like this. It has a filter, but I’ll run it through a coffee filter at the jug level.

I usually plan on chicken frying before a fish or shrimp frying so I can get a couple of uses. This is for outdoor frying with 1 gallon of oil.

Cheese cloth works great

I know you can reuse oil but growing up my mother and her silver can grease holder burnt me on reusing oil.

I guess I'll the be contrarian.

I have an electric 5 liter electric fryer I keep outside. I buy the cheapest canola oil I can find when I change oil.

I usually get 4-6 fries out of the oil, depending on what I fry.

I never strain or filter the oil between fries. Just turn it off and put the cover it.

On the latest change of oil, I fried a few catfish filets first and then some French fries. A few days later I fried some chicken tenders and pork chops.

I didn't notice any off flavors. If there were any, they were good flavors.

Would much rather have fresh oil each time, but I'm not going to do that nor am I going to spend a bunch of effort filtering and storing.

I know when the oil needs changing for my taste. It's easy and my very picky housemates have never done anything but scarf it up.

Oysters are different. Time to change after oysters regardless.

Same if you've fried fish a few times in a row.

Ideally, you fry chicken or vegetables on the first fry or two and then fish etc on the last few fries, but I don't worry about it much.

RV Works Fryer 6 gallon and we do the same 6+ months. Cleaning at the end of a season is gross, but never notice a change in taste.

I got the 4 gallon RV Works. I usually go 3 months or so. I use my pressure washer to clean it and the baskets.
