Finally Got That "Fishy" Canola Oil

[Sqwertz]

Bought a bottle of cheap canola oil. It was even cheaper than the
store brand - "Victory" brand (from Stratus Foods, Memphis).
Shallow-fried some breaded pork loin and sure enough, I got that
fishy taste people have talked about but that I've never experienced
until now.

Moral of the story: Don't buy the cheapest canola oil you can find.
Or just buy vegetable (soybean) oil instead.

Like canola oil, it doesn't fry stuff as well as soybean or corn
oil. For salad oils and marinades, it's fine.

I use grapeseed oil. It has a smoke point similar to canola and does
not have any discernible odor or flavor to me. When I used canola oil
it always smelled and tasted slightly rancid to me, no matter the brand
or how fresh it was. The first time I tried grapeseed oil I was hooked
and have used it for years now.

Grapeseed oil is remarkably good for frying and also general use.
Although I don't know why it's so expensive.

Grape seeds are mighty tiny and it requires a lot of them to extract a
small amount of oil.

I never buy either kind. I have avocado, corn, peanut, sesame and olive.

I am one of those people who thinks canola oil tastes fishy—doesn’t matter
how cheap the bottle is—and I stopped buying it quite awhile ago. I opt
instead for olive or plain vegetable oil. Some months ago when I was out of
olive oil, I noticed algae oil in the store. It was touted to have a higher
smoke point and healthier fat ratios, so I bought it to check it out. It
is now my go-to oil when I don’t want any oil flavor imparted into my
foods, like my weekend hash browns. I thought it would taste seaweed-y, but
it has no taste at all. I will definitely buy another bottle after we
finish this one.

Algae is the future of food! Today I bought some canola oil. I would prefer soybean oil but that was the cheapest oil they had in the store. If it smells fishy, I'll just have to make more fish.

Speaking of fish, for my wife's dinner, I prepared fish two ways: seared ahi and garlic ahi cubes with teriyaki glaze. There was some zucchini noodles under the seared fish. I put a wasabi and shoyu sauce on the seared ahi. It will be a good dinner, I think.

The way I make ahi, you wouldn't be sure about what you were eating. You might think it's the most tender chicken and beef. Making un-fishy fish is kind of dishonest, but it's delicious. :)

They are from different types of seeds but once upon a time rapeseed and
canola oils were practically interchangeable.

For frying, I use innocuous vegetable or corn oil. Olive oil if
specifically called for.

I haven't fried chicken in at least 30 years; I do believe I used

I did find a good deal on cubed round steak, bought with CFS in mind. :)
It's in the freezer just waiting for when the mood for CFS with cream

I make CFS about once a month. I've always liked it, but David is
crazy about it and CFS is on the short list of foods that he really
likes. My mother always told me to use solid Crisco and I do. I've
tried various oils and never like the results. Neither of us care
much for the cream gravy so I don't bother making it.

No cream gravy? I can't really imagine country fried steak without
cream gravy. Hey, whatever. Yes, to the Crisco (a very small amount
just to crisp the quickly fried, well dredged in seasoned flour cubed
steaks). Drained, then simmered in the gravy. It's not something I
grew up with. I'm not sure my mother even knew what CFS was.

I don't mind having some cream gravy on the side to dip a bite of CFS
in, but I definitely do not want it smothered in the gravy, nor
simmered in it. I want the coating to be crisp.
