Can olive oil be used as a substitute for canola oil in frying shrimp cakes?

If you're deep frying, no- olive oil burns at a lower temp than canola. If you're pan-frying you could, but keep in mind that olive oil will impart flavor that is likely undesirable for your shrimp cakes.

∙ 11y agoYes, and it would be preferable to canola oil.
Canola oil contains a carcinogen called Erucic acid. Which is why the brand name of food grade rape seed oil was changed from LEAR oil (low-erucic acid rapeseed oil), to Canola (a combination of the words Canada and Mazola {Mazola was it's main competitor at the time}) to appeal to American consumers.
When substituting olive oil in recipes use "light" or "clear" olive oils to avoid a change in tastes. Virgin and extra virgin oils have a strong, and undesirable in baking, flavor, which would change the taste.

∙ 9y agoYes it will work the same in most recipes. The only problem is that olive oil has more taste than canola oil, and the taste might be objectionable in some recipes.
