Hello,

It’s healthier on the purse but not the person!

Compared to deep frying, is shallow frying healthier for the person?

If not what is a healthier way, what about breaded and baked in a toaster oven, we're just two old folk.

Hello,

No because the batter will still absorb the same amount oi oil.

You can cook crumbed fish in the over with just a little spray of oil (I use fry Light). Or without the crumbs you can cook under a grill or poach in a frying pan. I would grill fish without breadcrumbs as they are likely to burn.

We have a collection of lighter recipes here.

Best wishes
