Olive oil is just not meant for deep frying. It is a salad oil. I prefer peanut oil for deep frying, as it has a much higher smoking point.

Olive oil isnt the best for deep frying, since you cant re use it and if you heat it too long it breaks down. costs a ton, but if you did get it hot, cook one batch, damn it would taste good.
