Abstract: The current study aimed to assess the effect of deep-frying with four different culinary oils on the fatty acid composition and lipid nutritional quality indices (LNQIs) of the striped seabream, Lithognathus mormyrus. As a result of frying, the fat content of the fillets increased, and the moisture content decreased in all evaluated samples. The findings revealed significant differences in fatty acid composition depending on the frying oil used. The nutritional quality indices (NQI) were all within ranges of high-lipid-quality seafood. The n-3/n-6 ratio decreased significantly after frying, mainly in sunflower oil, indicating a reduction in the nutritional value of the fried fish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
