IMO, nothing is good for frying. Fried food is often tasty but never very good for one's health, and often (especially long-term) very unhealthy.

Here's Dr. Mark Hyman's list of oils:
Good oils -- [from pp. 169 - 170 of FOOD: What the Heck Should I Eat? by Mark Hyman, MD
- Organic avocado oil
- Butter from pastured, grass-fed cows or goats
- Grass-fed ghee (clarified butter)
- Organic virgin coconut oil
- Organic, humanely raised tallow (beef fat)
- Organic , humanely raised lard (pork fat)
- Organic, humanely raised duck fat
- Organic, humanely raised chicken fat
Below; oils to use raw, on salads or other foods, but not to cook with:
- Organic extra virgin olive oil [slow cooking at low temps is OK, per a different section of the book - Narg]
- Walnut oil
- Almond oil
- Macadamia oil
- Sesame oil
- Tahini (sesame seed paste)
- Flax oil
- Hemp oil
Fats and oils to AVOID:
- Soybean oil
- Canola oil
- Corn oil
- Safflower oil
- Sunflower oil
- Palm oil
- Peanut oil
- Vegetable oil
- Vegetable shortening
- Margarine and all other butter substitutes, including the newest ones, which actually include butter among the ingredients
- Anything that says "hydrogenated' -- it's poison
- Anything else that looks fake
One caution: many GOOD oils on the market are adulterated with cheaper oils, including (perhaps even especially) olive oil from Italy, where criminal gangs apparently make drug-lord amounts of money adulterating olive oil (per Dr. Hyman). Be careful of your source! I buy California Estate Organic Extra Virgin olive oil from Life Extension mainly because LEF is careful about ingredients in what they sell.
IMO, nothing is good for frying. Fried food is often tasty but never very good for one's health, and often (especially long-term) very unhealthy.
