  Yeah, because it’s in water, not oil, it ain’t frying. It’s boiling.

    The pressure at that depth allows the temperature to get way higher than 100°C, so I bet it probably is closer to frying than boiling.

      Pressure cooking is still boiling though

        The pressure in your pressure cooker is only 15 psi which raises the boiling point of water to about 120°C, well bellow the temperature of a deep fryer at 175°C.

        The temperature of undersea vents can easily reach temperatures of over 300°C, which I would argue is more like frying.

    And you’ve been down there to make sure they’re not using oil?

  Not without a way to contain liquid fats underwater.

    Whales seem to have mastered that!

    And you’ve been down there to check all their cooking containers?

  If shrimp can fry rice, they can deep fry as well.
