Soybean oil is what your local Long John Silver's uses to fry their fish,
and you will best duplicate the real thing by using the same oil. But any
other oil may be substituted. You might want to try canola oil. It is the
oil lowest in saturated fat, and the taste difference is only slight.
It's crucial that your oil be hot before frying the fish. To test the
temp., drip some batter into the oil. It should bubble rapidly. After 5
min., the test batter should become golden brown. If so, fry away, fish
fiends.
