5 Best Fish Fryers

1. Bayou Classic B159, Outdoor Fish Cooker with Cast Iron Fry Pot

It is no secret that cast iron cooking utensils have been used since ancient times for preparing delectable dishes. This is because it helps maintain the perfect cooking temperature and facilitates even heat distribution.

This Fish Cooker with its 8.5 quarts cast iron fry pot does the same for your dishes.

It packs in all the essential flavors of the food instead of letting them escape. So, you get a burst of flavors every time you sink your teeth into your fried or cooked fish.

The cooker includes a high-pressure burner with adjustable regulator with braided metal LPG hose and a perforated aluminum frying basket.

It also comes with a Dutch oven lid that prevents the oil from splashing over and a 21” tall welded steel frame that provides complete windscreen protection.

You can easily fry chicken, french fries or hush puppies or cook gumbo, chili or jambalaya in this cooker.

2. Bayou Classic 700-701 4-Gallon Bayou Fryer Stainless Steel

It comes with double stainless frying baskets, a temperature gauge and drain valves that lets you make all of your favorite deep-fried snacks by maintaining the perfect frying temperature.

It includes a unique V-bottom design that keeps the base oil temperature cooler than the frying temperature at the top. This prevents any batter from getting burnt and keeps the oil clean.

This helps you to fry delicate whole fishes with ease more so because of the spacious frying area it offers.

This system includes a 10-PSI regulator kit with a stainless-steel braided hose. The heat that flows from the propane enters the fryer through its rear tube and rolls over the oil inside as it evens out.

However, this frying system could be a little tricky to clean out.

3. King Kooker 1618 16-Inch Propane Outdoor Cooker With Aluminium Pan And 2 Frying Baskets

It is an efficient portable outdoor propane fryer that features a 16 inch tall welded metal frame and an aluminum pan holding two large frying baskets.

It comes with a 54,000-BTU CSA-certified burner with LP hose and regulator with a type-1 connection that lets you have the correct amount of heat for frying your seafood or any other item to a perfect golden brown finish. It also features heat-resistant handles for safety purposes.

This system also includes a deep-fry thermometer that lets you control the temperature so that the food doesn’t get overcooked or burnt. And, you also get an additional recipe and instruction booklet with the fryer.

Yet, it should be kept in mind that it could be a little short in its overall standing height and since it doesn’t have a lid, can lead to oil spillage.

4. T-Fal FR8000 Deep Fryer with Basket

However, it’s not the quality of the frying mechanism that caught our attention. Sure, it’s quite good on its own. But, it’s the ease of cleaning that makes it one of our favorite fish fryers.

So, how exactly does it work? Well, it just takes 3 simple steps. First, you need to flip the switch to “Automatic Oil Filtration.” Then, drain the hot oil and leave it for some time to cool off. Once it’s cool, you can store the oil for later use or dispose it if you feel it’s too dirty.

Finally, you need to remove the parts and put them in the dishwasher. Yes, that’s right! The T-fal FR8000 has dishwasher safe parts. Does it get any more convenient than that? I don’t think so.

But, that doesn’t mean the FR8000 is perfect. This product doesn’t come with a timer, and that might be a deal breaker for some. Moreover, some of the parts of this deep fryer just doesn’t feel as sturdy as the competition.

If T-fal can improve the build quality and add a timer, we might just have a new winner on our hands.

5. Hamilton Beach 35034 Deep Fryer

The Hamilton Beach 35034 features a 12 cup food capacity that is perfect when you have to feed a large group. It also comes with double baskets that lets you prepare two separate items at the same time.

It includes an adjustable timer with an audible tone and temperature control feature for getting those classic golden unscorched fries.

The lowest temperature is 140 degrees for this fryer, and the highest is 375 degrees. The power cord attaches to the fryer magnetically and runs no risk of snagging. Also, the lid prevents the oil from splattering while cooking.

However, this fryer does not come with a filter and requires a lot of oil to deep fry owing to its size.
