Now and again I hanker for genuine grease so I put an inch and a half of canola oil in a 5 quart Dutch oven and fried this stuff in batches. The rings, shrimp, and hushpuppies are frozen items we brought back from that trip to the meat processor up county. The shrimp are pretty good, the rings and puppies less so. The pot of oil is still on the stove, I may make a batch of rings up myself today.
