With increasing popularity of sport fishing, the Bayou® Fry Basket is a vital accessory for every fish-fry event. The 12-in x 5.5-in basket supports large size fillets, while the handle keeps the cook at a safe distance from hot oil. The wire mesh basket with drain hook rapidly drains cooking oil away from fried fish, chicken, shrimp, onion rings, hushpuppies, and fries. When cooking and clean-up are complete, the handle folds for easy storage.
