Delicious but i worry about your oil levels Bobby.
I only use a minimum of olive oil.

I have low cholesterol - it was 3.0 - I think from memory.

Most people are above 6 - many are at 10.

Body needs cholesterol to stay healthy.
It helps to build and maintain cell membranes, to produce hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol, make vitamin D, to help digest food.

I was using Grape Seed oil a lot.
After a blood test. Some chemical in the oil that started with a T was very high in my system. Not a good thing. So I stopped using it and now use as little olive oil as I can.
Staying away from battered food as well.
I don't even oil my pork roast skin for crackling anymore.
It always gave me the runs anyway.

That's strange - I suppose everyone is different?

True. Everyone has different tolerances, etc.
Fish is a great food though. Alas, a fragile one. Can spoil easily.

To prevent fish spoilage you can cure it in salt and dry and/or cold smoke.
Alternatively you can make jerky same as beef.
