    I’m always nervous to heat oil to “hot” because of it becoming a trans-fat. Your comment?

    Also, is there a South African equivalent of Barramundi?

    Thank you for all your help.

    Hi Margie,

    According to West A Price, when you use cooking oil (of any kind) to fry foods it does not generate trans fat. That’s an untrue rumor. https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/know-your-fats/trans-fatty-acids-are-not-formed-by-heating-vegetable-oils/

    However, certain oils have different smoke points and heating higher than their smoke points will cause its chemical makeup to change. Avocado oil has a smoke point of 271°C or 520°F, which is significantly high.

    I’ve never seen a barramundi in the US. Not even in Seattle, with its fish markets.

    What fish would be a good substitute here in the US?

    Hi Annalysa,

    Good point! If you can’t find Barramundi or Sea Bass, a great alternative would be Alaskan sablefish, which is also known as black cod. You may also get away with Mackerel, although it’s not as white of a fish and has a more distinct flavor.

    Hope that gives you a couple options ?
