What oil does Mariscos Del Puerto cook with?
Our research indicates: No official source found; industry default assumed. Mariscos Del Puerto is a small independent Mexican seafood restaurant (San Antonio, TX, with a related Pharr, TX location) with no corporate website, allergen PDF, nutrition page, or franchise disclosure document. Its menu confirms deep-frying (fried shrimp, crab-stuffed fried shrimp, breaded/fried fish fillets and tacos, crinkle-cut fries), but the specific frying oil is never disclosed anywhere online. Independent Tex-Mex/seafood kitchens of this size almost always use a generic commodity soybean or vegetable oil blend for the fryer, so that is the assumption here, not a confirmed fact. Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.

What are seed oils?
Seed oils — canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, and similar vegetable oils — are extracted from seeds using high heat and chemical solvents. They are very high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), which are unstable at cooking temperatures and can oxidize easily. Many health-conscious eaters choose to minimize seed oils and prefer foods cooked in beef tallow, butter, coconut oil, or olive oil instead. This page shows estimated PUFA grams per menu item to help you make more informed choices. These are estimates — actual values vary by preparation and location. New to the topic?
