We were both right in some areas and have taught each other something! Shame we can't use this method to keep world peace!

I did actually look into it after your comment. It seems most of the studies that show a loss of Omega 3 are actually looking at deep fried fish. Which makes sense as obviously with deep frying the omega3 will leach out of the fish - and the fish will take up the less healthy frying oil. But who really deep fries oily fish - other than maybe white bait?
I think, disregarding the calories in the oils used and the saturates in the butter, a meal of shallow fried herring and bread and butter is not that unhealthy a meal. As a small part of a balanced diet it's actually pretty nutritious. It's really lovely as well :smiley:

The butter was on the bread not on the fish! Did you mean they probably made a herring sandwich ?

When you fry fish you destroy the omega 3. Better to steam it.

I can't see how shallow frying a fish for 3 minutes on each side would have any significantly different effect on the omega 3 content compared to any other cooking method.

We had some last night pan fried and served with crusty white bread and butter - nom nom nom!

Better to have olive oil on bread! Or 100% peanuts peanut butter! Wholemeal bread is better than White!
