Suggestions on what to get? We only fry something a few times a year, but when we do, I want one large enough for feeding 6 and dont want to have to cook in 4-5 batches. Mostly it will be fish and okra

If I have to cook for a crowd I use my turkey fryer. It came with a small pan and the big one used for turkeys. The small pan holds about a gallon of oil. We also have 2 fry granddaddy's that will do the job as well.

We bought a small Cajun Cooker deep fryer a couple of years ago but we don’t use it much. Just too much prep and cleanup unless you are cooking a lot. We use these more than anything.

Propane fish cooker with a cast iron Dutch oven is the way to go. , also pick up a cast iron griddle for blackening.

Ditch the deep fat fryer and go with an outdoor propane Big Easy and/or an indoor air fryer

I use the Presto cookers as well. The 6 qt. Is a good size, I have 3 of them. I can fry 7 or 8 crappie filets at a time.

I bought the 10qt and took it back because it wouldn't get to 350 degrees to fry fish.

Use a metal strainer to strain the peanut oil when finished cooking and return it to the cooker to use the next time.

I like my Presto Fry Daddy but I just cook for 2 max. Nice thing about the Presto is cleanup is a cinch.

Food looks good. We have one too and with just the two of us it's all we need for us.
