Typically, it is not a polymer, just a large molecule comprises glycol(the back bone) and 3 branches of fatty acids. However, during storage for long time, or heating, it can react to form radicals. These radicals initiate a polymerization reaction. Therefore, deep fried oil contains a lot of polymeric molecules.

A triglyceride does not have repeating units, but has three fatty acids groups bonded through ester linkages to a glycerin molecule.
