Cast iron, if properly seasoned and cared for, is excellent for cooking and baking (cornbread, pineapple upside down cake, etc.) because trace iron is conveyed to the food. You can use an iron pot for frying, but it is unlikely that the benefits will be transfered through the hot oil into the fish. You can use any heavy, deep pot for frying. Make sure you have at least as much pot above the oil as below to allow for the addition of food and to keep spatters to a minimum.

What cast iron used for?
Cast iron skillets are used for frying and baking. I use mine to fry bacon and eggs, and to bake cornbread. They are non-sticking if they have been seasoned. To season a skillet, cover the inside of the skillet with a thin coat of oil and put it into a hot oven (400). Turn off the oven and let the oil cook onto the skillet. It will form a coating that is non-sticking. Never wash your skillet in soapy water because that will remove the coating. When the coating is washed off or wears off re-season it. I have a skillet that is over 50 years old. It doesn't wear out, it doesn't get dented, and if you always keep it seasoned it won't rust.
