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.
