Bad move. It will lack character.

Our two cents. A couple of years ago, we did lunch at Mike Linnig's and then dinner at The Irish Rover for comparison. No comparison, the Rover won hands down as the much better fish and chips, even if Mike Linnig's did not call it that. The south end opinion, where I grew up, it is a long way to Frankfort Avenue, but The Rover has a wonderful fish and chips.

Reminds me of the fryers at the old Chick Inn.... ... a lot of folks swear that the fried chicken there was not the same after the fire......legend has it that they never changed the grease ...took the lovin' out of the poultry....
IMO...it was some pretty damn good fried chicken though...

There's an 'ol chef trick when changing fryer grease- you always transfer a cup or two of the used oil to the new oil- kind of like Amish Frendship Bread. It brings the flavor and also brings the darkness to the new frying batch...

That's how bourbon's made, so it can't be a bad idea.

This place is serious about their grease.

Here's another location.

Stephen...I do believe that is the first time I have seen the words "Chef" and "fryer grease" used in the same sentence.
