      could the oil which was used to fry fish be reused for cooking other dishes?
      or should it be thrown away.

      Once again thanks for your blog, It's been a great help to me. whenever I need a recipe I always search your blog, If I couldn't find one I won't cook it.

      @AshokI wont suggest you to use it in any other dishes. You can fry fish another day adn throw it away. But it is better to throw the oil. PLus dont add too much add while frying fish

      Made this tonight with Tilapia fish. The taste was amazing. I wiped the pan clean. I kind of shallow fried it and it did stick to the pan. Although the crusty bits stuck to the pan were the best part! I might try grilling in the oven next time.
