I loved the backstory of the garage “ fry station”. I mean I could actually see it. So rich and it made me smile. Totally agree and appreciate the suggestion about conserving oil. As Mark has reminded us “Food is political “ So we shouldn’t tiptoe around stating the obvious. But I am totally going to set up a friggatoria, on a newspaper covered card table, in the garage, when it becomes PC to do so once again, invite a bunch of folks over, and fry some food!!!Thank you Melissa for this glimpse into your rich childhood memories.
I don't want to appear scolding or negative. But with all due respect, given the serious world cooking oil shortage, especially in developing countries, due to the war in Ukraine, perhaps cooking sites should be sensitive to that and ask all of us to keep away from deep fried recipes for now. It seems frivolous to highlight deep frying given what's going on nowadays. I'd like to learn ways to conserve oil and help direct US supplies to those in need.
You may starve your guests with only 1 1/2 ounces of seafood between them ;-)
I love this story. Also, it is making me hungry. Will you please come here and fry things for me?

I love the idea of doing this out on the patio. Thanks for the inspiration.
