Is there a use for it?

I bought some ‘posh’ tinned fish from a nice deli recently (tuna, anchovies, octopus etc) and wondered if anyone else had any ideas for using the oil one pours off? It’s mostly good virgin olive oil, often flavoured with lemon, peppercorns or chillies so it seems there must be a use for it but as it’s had fish steeped into it I can’t just use it for salad dressing etc.

The only idea I’ve come up with so far is to use it to sweat the onions in for a fish or shellfish-based risotto. Or just chuck it I guess.

with pasta like fettucini (you can use the fish as well, though anchovies tend to be too salty I think)

or if all else fails, keep it for your cooking oil based car fuel.

Bung it in a blender with milk and icecream and have a fish milkshake ;-)

Seriously though, without the pepper etc i would see if the cat liked it.

In my animal feed days we used to boast about the amount of oil we put into the compound feed. We had tanks of F.A.O. and P.A.O., sounds better than fish acid oil and palm acid oil.
